This is a simple division series. Each number is divided by 5. Rule = (1st number / 5 = 2nd number) (2nd number / 5 = 3rd number)....Now, (1000 / 5 = 200), (200 / 5 = 40), (40 / 5 = 8)...So answer is a = 8.
Let Radha's present age = x years.∴ x = 2 (x = 12) - 3= x = 2x - 24 - 3= x = 27∴ Raja's present age = 4/9 x 27= 12 years ∴ Raja's age after 5 years = 12 + 5 = 17 years
