Answer
Total number of marbles are 42
Solution
Let Somu has x Marbles and Ramu has y Marbles
If Ramu takes 6 Marbles from somu the number of Marbles with them will be equal.
x-6 = y+6
x - y = 12 -------(1)
if Somu takes one marble from Ramu, Somu will have twice the number of Marbles that ramu has.
x + 1 = 2(y - 1)
x - 2y = -3 --------(2)
Solving (1) and (2), we get
x = 27 and y = 15
Total number of marbles = x + y = 27 + 15 = 42 marbles
