After 18 years, Swarnim will be 4 times as old as he is now. His present age is 6 years.

Let us assume swarnim’s parent age be x year.

Then, after 18 year, Swarnim’s age = (x + 18) year

According to the question,

x + 18 = 4x

x – 4x = -18

– 3x = -18

– 3x/3 = (-18/3)

x = 6

Therefore, swarnim’s present age is 6 year.
