Hiii friend,
Let the age of ashima be X years.
Then the age of Sunita is 2X years
Before six years age of ashima = (X-6) years.
And,
After four years age of Sunita = (2X+4) years.
According to question,
2X+4 = 4(X-6) years
2X + 4 = 4X - 24
4X-2X = 4+24
2X = 28
X = 28/2 => 14 years.
Age of ashima = X = 14 years
And,
Age of Sunita = 2X = 2 × 14 = 28 years.
