let,
sahil's present age be 'x'
prakruti's age is six times sahils age
so, prakruti's age is 6x
after 15 years sahils age is x+15
Prakruti will be 3 times as old as sahil
so prakruti's age is 3(x+15)
but,
according to previous given clue prakruti's age will be 6x+15
so,
6x+15=3(x+15)
6x+15=3x+45
6x-3x=45-15
3x=30
x=10
there fore
present age of sahil is 10 years and
prakruti present age is 60 years
sahil's present age be 'x'
prakruti's age is six times sahils age
