Answer 2

Answer:

14 years, 38 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of daughter two years be x years.

Two years ago:

Age of Salim = 3x

6 years later:

Age of daughter = x + 2 + 6 = x + 8

Age of Salim = 3x + 2 + 6 = 3x + 8.

Given that 6 years later he will be 4 years older than twice her age.

⇒ 3x + 8 = 2(x + 8) + 4

⇒ 3x + 8 = 2x + 16 + 4

⇒ 3x + 8 = 2x + 20

⇒ x = 12

Therefore:

Present age of daughter = x + 2 = 14

Present age of Salim = 3x + 2 = 38

Hope it helps!
