Two years before Paul s age is 2times the Alice age and the present age of Paul is 6times the

paul's age: alice's age=2:1
after some years
paul's age: alice's age=6:1
the question is wrong because a ration of increased inequality cant increase by adding equal number to both

Let x be Alice's age and y be Paul's current age
y-4 = 3x
y = 6x
so y = 2(y -4) since y =6x and 2(y-4) = 6x also
y = 2y -8
-y = -8
so y =8
Paul is 8 years old

let present age:
alice=x
paul=y
two yrs ago: 2(x-2)=(y-2)-------(i)
y=6x------(ii)
solving both,we get
x=1/2; y=3

Let Alice's present age be x
So, Paul's present age is 6x(assume y)
Now, as per given condition,
6x-2=2(x-2)
x=-1/2
y=6*(-1/2)= -3
ignoring negative sign, we can conclude y=3

let the age of poul=a;
let the age of alice=b;
two year before the condition is
a-2=2(b-2)--------------(1)///poul age was twice of alice
and
now;
a=3b----------------------(2)
by solving two of condition
we get
a=24
b=8

p-2=2(a-2)
p=6a
6a-2=2a-4
4a=-2
a=-1/2
p=-3

let paul's present age be 'x'and alice age be 'y'
two years beflore,
i.e) x-2=2y-----1
at present,
x=6y---------------2
subsitute 2 in 1
6y-2=2y;
4y=2---------3
y=1/2. we want pauls age.subsitute 3 in 2
we will get ,
x=3-----answer is three years
