Correct Answer: 45 years
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 21 years
Explanation:
Suppose the present age of Ketan is P years.
According to question,
present age of Ketan + 1 year = 2 ( present age of Ketan - 10 years )
P + 1 = 2 (P ? 10)
? P + 1 = 2P ? 20
? 2P ? P = 20 + 1
? P = 21 years
Therefore ,present age of Ketan is 21 years .

? P = 8 and Q = 4
2 years ago their ages
Age of A = 8 ? 2 = 6 years
Age of B = 4 ? 2 = 2 years
