Let's assume Anand's present age is "x".

According to the problem statement, Anand's age after 25 years will be "x + 25".

And, Anand's age 5 years back will be "x - 5".

So, as per the given condition,

x + 25 = 2(x - 5)

x + 25 = 2x - 10

x - 2x = -10 - 25

-x = -35

x = 35

Therefore, Anand's present age is 35.
