Answer 1

:let the kavitas present age be- Xyears

Let the anita present age be- Yyears

1 conditions

X. = 3Y

X-3Y=0-----------------1

2 conditions

X-6=4(Y-6)

X-6=4Y-24

X-4Y=-24+6

X-4Y=-18-----------------2

From eq 1 and 2

We get,

X-3Y=0

X-4Y=-18

If we divide both the eq we get

X=54. Y=18
