Detailed Solution

Concept: Suppose Seema's age is x.
Then Sudesh'w age is 2x.
If 6 years are subtracted from Seema's age we get x -6 and if 4 years are added to Sudesh's age we get 2x+4
So we are given that 2x+4 = 4(x-6) => 2x+4 = 4x-24
=> 4x-2x= 4+24
=> 2= 28
=> x = 14
=> Sudesh' age = 2= 28
So, the current ages of Seema and Sudesh are 14 years and 28 years.
So, 3 years ago Seema was 11 years and Sudesh was 25 years
Hence, the correct Option is (1) 25 & 11.
