Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let the age of Anima be `x` years.
The age of Kanwar will be `(3+x)`years.
Six years ago, Anima's age`=(x-6)` years
And Kanwar's age`=(3+x-6)` years.
According to the given question,
`(3+x-6)=4(x-6)`
`(-3+x)=(4x-24)`
`4x-x=-3+24`
`3x=21`
`x=7`
`therefore` The age of Anima`=7` years.
The age of Kanwar`=(3+x)=3+7=10` years
`therefore` The ages of Anima and Kanwar`=7` years and `10` years
