You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let +r+ = Raju's age now
Let +c+ = cousin's age now
-------------------------
(1) +r+=+c+-+19+
(2) +%28+r+%2B+5+%29+%2F+%28+c+%2B+5+%29+=+2+%2F+3+
-----------------------------
Multiply both sides of (2) by +3%2A%28+c+%2B+5+%29+
(2) +3%2A%28+r+%2B+5+%29+=+2%2A%28+c+%2B+5+%29+
(2) +3r+%2B+15+=+2c+%2B+10+
-------------
You have to finish- I have to run
