Correct Answer

Explanation

Haseena's present age = x Haseena's age in 6 years = x + 6 According to the information given, we can set up the following equation: x + 6 = 26 Solving for x, we get: x = 26 - 6 = 20 This tells us that Haseena's present age is 20 years. If we let the present age of Anushka be represented by a variable y, then we can set up the following equation: y / x = 4/3 Substituting the value of x that we found earlier (x = 20), we get: y / 20 = 4/3 Solving for y, we get: y = 20 * 3/4 = 15 This tells us that Anushka's present age is 15 years.
