Answer:
Pravin is 77 years and his daughter is 17 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let age of Pravin be x
Let age of his daughter be y
1st condition:
x - 7 = 7(y - 7) x-7 because 7 years ago
x - 7 = 7y - 49
x - 7y = -49 + 7
x - 7y = -42 eq. 1
2nd condition:
x + 3 = 4(y + 3)
x + 3 = 4y + 12
x - 4y = 9 eq. 2
comparing equations 1 and 2
x - 7y = -42
x - 4y = 9 subtract them
-------------
-3y = -51
y = 17
Substitute y in eq. 1
x - 7(17) = -42
x = -42 + 119
x = 77
