Answer 2

answer

radha's age = 12 Rahul's age = 18

explanation

radha's present age = x

rahul's present age = y

2 years ago

x-2/y-2 = 2/3

3x-6 = 2y-4

3x-2y-2 (equation 1)

after 4 years

x+4/y+4 = 3/4

4x+16 = 3y+12

4x-3y+4 (equation 2)

equation 1 multiply by 4 ani equation 2 multiply by 3

12x-8y-8 = 12x-9y+12

-8y+9y = 12+ 8

y = 20

put y's value to equation 1

3x-2y-2 = 0

3x-2(20)-2=0

3x-40-2=0

3x-42=0

3×=42

×=14
