★ Answer:-

✴ Present age of Amrita= 14 years

✴ Present age of Aman= 6 years

★ Step-by-step explanation:-

Let the present age of Aman be x and that of Amrita be x + 8.

Now, as per the question,

x + 8/ x = 7/3

=> 7x = 3 (x+8)

=> 7x = 3x +24

=> 7x - 3x = 24

=> 4x = 24

=> x = 24/4

=> x = 6

This implies that the present age of :-

☞ Aman (x) = 6 years

And

☞ Amrita (x + 8) = 6 + 8 = 14 years
