Let the present age of Bhargav is x.
Two years ago
Bhargav's age = x-2.
Anurag's age = 3(x-2).
So, Present age of Anurag = 3(x-2)+2 = 3x-6+2 = 3x-4......…...(eq. 1)
Two years hence,
Bhargav's age = x+2
Anurag's age = 2(x+2).
So, Anurag's present age = 2(x+2)-2 = 2x+4-2 = 2x+2......(eq 2)
Equating both equations,
3x-4 = 2x+2
x= 6.
So, Present age of Bhargav = 6 years
and, Present age of Anurag = 3×6-4 = 14 years.
