    Solution

    ATQ, Let present age of Bhanu = 'b' Age of Aman + Chinu = 2b Age of Chinu = (5/6) × b Age of Chinu = 5b/6 Age of Aman - 4 = b Aman's age = b + 4 b + 4 + 5b/6 = 2b (6b + 24 + 5b)/6 = 2b 11b+ 24 = 12b b = 24 So, Bhanu's Age = 24 years Aman's Age = 24 + 4 = 28 years Required sum = (28 + 4) + (24 + 6) = 32 + 30 = 62 years
