Hey sup!
Let Kunal and Sagar's age six years ago be 6k and 5k respectively.
Present age of Kunal= 6k+6.
Present age of Sagar=5k+6.
Four year hence,
Kunal's age= 6k+6+4=6k+10.
Sagar's age=5k+6+4=5k+10.
As per the question,
6k+10/5k+10=11/10.
=>11(5k+10)=10(6k+10).
=>55k+110=60k+100.
=>60k-55k=110-100.
=>5k=10.
=>k=10/5.
=>k=2.
So, Sagar's present age=5k+6.
=5*2+6.
=10+6.
=16years= Option A.
Hope it helps.
