Let the present age of salim be x and that of his daughter be y2 years ago age of salim = x-2age of daughter = y-2According to question,

(x-2) = 3 (y-2)

x - 3y = - 4 .......(1)

After 6 years

x + 6 = 2(y + 6)

x - 2y = 10 ........(2)

eq(1) - eq(2)

- y = -14y = 14

So, x = 38

solving the above two eq we get

y=14, x=38

Salim age is 38 yearsSalim daughter age is 14 years
