    Monu : ninu
    11x : 7x before 5 year
    - : - present
    29 avg of both after 6 year
    Now we can write (11x+11)+(7x+11)/2=29
    {It means avg of 11x and 7x equals to 29 but after 11 year(before 5 nd after 6 =(6+5=11))}
    Now we solve it (11x+11)+(7x+11)/2=29
    And we calculate x=2

    So we write 11*2 : 7*2
    22. : 14. Before 5 year
    ( 22+5) 27 : 19 (14+5) present

    Let present age of Monu and Ninu are X and Y years respectively.
    After six years of now, they have age as (X + 6) and (Y + 6) respectively.
    Total age after 6 years = 2 * 29
    X + 6 + Y + 6 = 58
    X + Y = 46 ------------------------------------ (1)
    5 years ago ratio of their age = 11 : 7
    So, Let 5 years ago their age were 11n and 7n respectively.
    Let total age 5 year ago = 11n + 7n = 18n.
    (X -5) + (Y - 5) = 18n
    X + Y - 10 = 18n
    46 - 10 = 18n
    n = 2
    So,
    5 years ago Ninu's age = 7n = 7 *2 = 14 years.
    And Monu's age = 11n = 11 * 2 = 22 years.
