    Solution

    ATQ, Let Ritu's present age be represented as x, and Rajni's age as 36 - x. Three years ago, Ritu's age was x - 3, and Rajni's age was 36 - x - 3. In the future, after 4 years, Ritu's age will be x + 4. Given that three years ago, Rajni's age was twice Ritu's age, we can set up the equation: 36 - x - 3 = 2(x - 3). Solving for x: 36 - x = 2x - 6, 3x = 42, x = 14 years. So, Ritu's age after 4 years will be: x + 4 = 14 + 4 = 18 years.
