Answer 1

anil's age is 4 year and mahesh's age is 2 year

Answer 2

Define x:

Let Mahesh be x years old

Anil is 2x years old

Solve x:

In 10 years time, Anils age will be 18 years more than the age of Mahesh

2x + 10 = x + 10 + 18

x = 18

Find their age:

Mahesh = x = 18

Anil = 2x = 2(18) = 36

Answer: Mahesh is 18 and Anil is 36 years old.
