Please use comma in the question for better understanding.
From what I understood:
Present : Shobit = Pankaj + 3 ......(1)
6 Years ago : (Shobit - 6) = 4*(Pankaj - 6) .....(2)
From 1 and 2,
Pankaj = 7, Shobit = 10 years at present

Hi ,
At present
________
pankaj age = x years
shobhit age = (3+ x )years
six years ago
__________
pankaj age = ( x - 6 ) years
shobhit's age = ( 3 + x - 6 )=( x - 3 ) years
according to the problem given,
shobhit's age = 4 ×pankaj's age
x - 3 = 4(x - 6)
x - 3 = 4x - 24
x - 4x = -24 + 3
-3x = - 21
x = (-21 )/ ( -3 )
x = 7
Therefore,
at present ,
pankaj age = x = 7 years
shobhit's age = 3 + x
= 3 + 7
= 10 years
I hope this helps you.
