At present, the ratio between the ages of Arun and Deepak is 4 : 3. After 6 years, Arun's age will be 26 years. What is the age of Deepak at present ?

4x + 6 = 26 
4x = 20
x = 5.
Deepak's age = 3x = 15 years.

By given information 4:3 = 4=20.
hence 20/4=5.
therefore 5*3=15(ans).
hence 20/4=5.
therefore 5*3=15(ans).

Why not 19. 5. As x=5. Hence x=3y/.
