Answer 2

Answer:

12, 26 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Karishma's age be 'x'

Then Aishwarya's age = 2x

6 years subtracted from Karishma's age = x - 6

4 years added to Aishwarya's age = 2x + 4

Then,

4 (x - 6) = 2x + 4

=> 4x - 24 = 2x + 4

=> 4x - 2x = 24 + 4

=> 2x = 28

=> x = 28/2 => 14

Therefore, Karishma's age is 14 and Aishwarya's age is (14 x 2) = 28

Karishma's age before 2 years = 12

Aishwarya's age before 2 years = 26
