Here is your answer :-
Let the present age of virat kohli be x years
Virat kohli age 8 years age = x-8
Virat kohli age 6 years later = x + 6
(x-8)(x+6) = 680
x² + 6x -8x -48 = 680
x² -2x -48-680 = 0
x² -2x -728 = 0
x² - (28-26)x - 728 = 0
x² -28x + 26x -728 = 0
x ( x -28) + 26( x-28) = 0
(x-28) (x+26) = 0
x = 28
so , virat kohli's age is 28 years .

Let Virat Kohli Present Age=X years
8 years Ago Virat Kohli Age=(x-8) years
6 year Later From Present Age His Age
=(X+6) years
Product of Both Ages=680
=(x-8)(X+6)=680
=x(X+6)-8(X+6)=680
=x²+6x-8x-48=680
=x²-2x-48-680=0
=x²-2x-728
By middle Term Spilliting
Prime Factor of 728=2×2×2×13×7
-2x can Written as=-28x+26x
Now
x²+26x-28x-728
X(x+26)-28(X+26)
(x-28)(X+26)
Means
x-28=0
X=28
and
X+26=0
X=-26
Hence Age Can't be in Negative.
Present Age of Virat Kohli=28 Years
