Answer 1

I think their is something wrong in the question

Answer 2

Answer:

Sohail is 14 years old

Sunil is 56 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Sohail be x

We are given that Sunil is now 4 times as old as Sohail

So, Sunil's age = 4x

Now , 7 years ago Sohail's age was x-7 years

7 years ago Sunil's age was 4x-7 years

Now we are given that  five years ago sunil was 7 times as old as Sohail

So, $4x-7=7(x-7)$

$4x-7=7x-49$

$49-7=7x-4x$

$42=3x$

$14 =x$

Thus the present age of Sohail is 14 years old.

Present age of Sunil is 4x=4*14 = 56 years
