65. *******4 years before Paul’s age is 3 times the Alice age and the present age of Paul’s is 6 times the Alice , what is the present age of Paul?

• Let the age of Paul be x and that of alice be y
  Then
  x-4 = 3(y-4)
  x-3y = -8
  and also
  x = 6y
  so
  3y = -8
  This means that y is negative but age can't be negative hence the question is wrong.

• let the present age of alice be x
  then before 4 yrs alice age would be x-4
  then paul's age =3(x-4)
  
  present age is paul=6*alice
  3(x-4)+4=6(x-4)+4
  3x-12=6x-24
  3x=12
  x=4
  so present age of paul is 24 years
