let the age of shreya and anika be x and y respectively
now x=3y
4 years ago
7(x-4)=1(y-4)
7x-28=y-4
7x-y=24
7*3y -y= 24
20y=24
y=6/5
now x=3Y
x=3*6/5
x= 18/5

let the age of anika be x
 therefore , the age of shreya be 3x
4years ago , 
       age of anika =(x-4)
        ageof shreya=(3x-4)
ATQ,

(x-4):(3x-4)=(1:7)
7x-28=3x-4
4x=24
x=6

thus, 
        anika age=6 yrs
        shreya age=18yrs 
 plz... mark as the brainliest
