Let, the ages of A and B are x years and y years respectively.
Given that,
x : y = 7 : 9 .....(i)
and
x = y - 4 .....(ii)
If a be the common multiple of (i), then
x = 7a years and y = 9a years.
From (ii), we get
7a = 9a - 4
or, 2a = 4
or, a = 2.
Hence, the present age of A and B are 14 years and 18 years respectively.
