Answer 2

Solution :-

Let us assume that, present age of sumit is x years .

So,

→ Present age of Rishit = (x + 4) years .

now,

→ Six years ago sumit age was = (x - 6) years

→ Six years ago Rishit age was =(x + 4) - 6 = (x - 2) years

A/q,

→ (x - 2) = 3(x - 6)

→ (x - 2) = 3x - 18

→ 3x - x = 18 - 2

→ 2x = 16

→ x = 8

therefore,

→ Present age of sumit = x = 8 years .

→ Present age of Rishit = (x + 4) = 8 + 4 = 12 years .
