Given:

Present age of Karan = 25 years

In 5 years, the ratio of age of Karan to Sangeet = 6 : 7

Formula used:

Let the present age of Sangeet = x

After 5 years, age of Karan = 25 + 5 = 30 years

After 5 years, age of Sangeet = x + 5

Calculations:

The ratio of their ages after 5 years = 6 : 7

⇒ (30) / (x + 5) = 6 / 7

⇒ 7 × 30 = 6 × (x + 5)

⇒ 210 = 6x + 30

⇒ 6x = 210 - 30

⇒ 6x = 180

⇒ x = 180 / 6

⇒ x = 30

Present age of Sangeet = 30 years

Age of Sangeet four years ago = 30 - 4 = 26 years

∴ The age of Sangeet four years ago was 26 years.
