Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 3 : 12 years and 14 years

Given:

Ankita is two years younger than Anu.

After four years Anu's age will be two times of Ankita's age three years ago

Calculation:

Let the age of Ankita be x

⇒ age of Anu will be = x+2

After four years Anu's age will be two times of Ankita's age three years ago.

⇒ (x + 2) + 4 = 2 (x – 3)

⇒ x + 6 = 2x – 6

⇒ x = 12

⇒ x + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14

∴ Age of Ankita is 12 years and age of Anu is 14 years.
