Let Mahesh's fathers age be x and Mahesh's age be y

According to the question,

x = 6 + 4y       → → → [Equation 1]

x = 42 years   → → → [Equation 2]

Equating 1 and 2;

42 = 6 + 4y

⇒ 6 + 4y = 42

⇒ 4y = 42 - 6

⇒ 4y = 36

⇒ y = 36 ÷ 4

y = 9 years

We have taken Mahesh's age as y years

∴ Mahesh's age = 9 years
