Answer:

John's age is 46 yrs, Akshay's age is 48yrs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let John's age be 'x' yrs.

John age = x yrs.

Akshay age = x+2 yrs.

Product of thier ages is 2208.

x (x+2) = 2208.

x² + 2x = 2208.

x² + 2x - 2208 = 0.

x² + 48x - 46x - 2208 = 0.

x (x + 48) - 46 (x + 48 ) = 0.

x - 46 = 0. OR x + 48 = 0.

x = 46. OR. x = -48.

Age cannot be negative.

x = 46 yrs.

John's age = 46 yrs.

Akshay's age = x + 2 = 46 + 2 = 48 yrs.

John's present age is 46 yrs and Akshay's present age is 48 yrs.
