let Ben's age be x and ishaan 's age be y.
case 1
ATQ;
x = 4y

case 2
ben's age 6 years ago = x -6
ishaan's age six years ago = y-6

ATQ;
X-6= 6(y-6)
x-6=6y-36
x-6-6y+36=0
x-6y+30=0---------(1)
put the value of x in equation (1),we get

4y- 6y+30=0
-2y= -30
y=30/2
y= 15

putting value of y in value of. x, we get
x = 4(15)=60
