Detailed Solution

Concept: We build a general equation with the given data, i.e. age of Radha = x and other criteria mentioned in the question, which gives us the algebraic expression, in order to determine the algebraic expression and Ankita's age when Radha's age is 8. The age of Ankita at Radha's age of 8 is therefore determined by substituting x = 8.
Given data,
Radha’s age =

Radha is two years younger than Ankita, making her older by two.
We know that Radha is

years old
Ankita is reported to be two times (

) plus two (

) Radha's age.
Therefore, the age of Ankita is =

Radha will turn 8 when Ankita reaches this age i.e.
