Step-by-step explanation:
Let Amina's age be X and Kanwar's age X + 3.
6 years ago, Amina: X - 6 and Kanwar: X + 3 - 6 = X - 3.
According to the question,
(X - 6) * 4 = X - 3
4X - 24 = X - 3
4X - X = -3 + 24
3X = 21
X = 7
So Amina's age is 7 and Kanwar's age is 10.
Verification: 6 years ago: Amina was 1 and Kanwar was 4, which is 4 times her age.
