Answer:
present age of Pratap = 24
present age of Akhilesh = 28
Step-by-step explanation:
since ratio of age of Pratap and akhilesh is 6:7
therefore
present age of Pratap is 6x
and present age of akhilesh is 7x
After 6 years :
age of Pratap will be 6x + 6
age of akhilesh will be 7x + 6
according to question
(6x+6) / (7x+6) = 15/17
17(6x+6) = 15(7x+6)
102x + 102= 105x + 90
102x - 105x = 90 - 102
-3x= - 12
x= 4
so present age of Pratap = 6*4=24
and present age of akhilesh = 7*4= 28
