let the ages be 6x and 5x respectively
their ages after 9 years = 9:8
(6x + 9 )/(5x +9) = 9/8
8 [ 6x+9] = 9 [5x +9]
48x + 72 = 45x + 81
48x - 45x = 81-72
3x = 9
x = 9/3
x = 3
Ages are 6x +9 = 6×3 + 9
= 18 + 9
= 27 years ( nisha age)
5x + 9 = 5*3 + 9
= 15 + 9
= 24 years ( veena age)
Difference in ages = 27-24
= 3 years
Hope my answer helps if so mark me brainliest
