★ 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
