Answer 1

khushi was2 yersoldand divya was 4

Answer 2

Answer:

1. DIVYA"S AGE TWO YEARS AGO  WAS  6 YEARS
2. KHUSHI"S AGE TWO YEARS AGO WAS 2 YEARS

• LET KHUSHI"S AGE BE "X"
• THEN DIVYA"S AGE WILL BE "2X"
• 4 YEARS ADDED TO KHUSHI"S AGE = (X+4)
• 6 YEARS DEDUCED FROM DIVYA"S =(2X-6)
• ACCORDING TO THE QUESTION

⇒ 4(2X-6) = X+4

⇒ 8X-24= X+4

⇒ 7X= 28

⇒X= 4

• PRESENT AGE OF KHUSHI = 4
• PRESENT AGE OF DIVYA =2X =8
