From given two statements, we can say that there is Sam and Alberts :
From II we have Albert age is 20 years,
From I Sam's present age is more than Albert's present age by 4 years, so.
Sam age is = 20+4= 24 years.
From II we have Albert age is 20 years,
From I Sam's present age is more than Albert's present age by 4 years, so.
Sam age is = 20+4= 24 years.

Hi @Arushi.
You can't find the ratio of Sam and Albert with only a single option give. We can find atleast with any two options given.
