• can't evaluate because
  if alice age before 2 year is x
  then paul's age =2x
  and now
  2x+2=6(x+2)
  which can;t be solved
  so either this question is incorrect or It can't be evaluated

• In normal case, the ratio of ages decreases with time.
  If qn is
  two years before paul's age is 6 times the alice age and present age of paul is 2 times the alice .what is present paul's age .
  Then present age of paul is 5 yrs and that of alice is 2.5 yrs... double
  2 yrs before, age of paul was 3 yrs and that of alice was 0.5 yrs... 6 times
