    Solution

    ATQ, Seven years hence from now, the sum of ages of 'Bishma' and 'Chirag' will be 63 years. So, sum of present age of 'Bishma' and 'Chirag' = 63 - (2 × 7) = 49 years Let present age of 'Chirag' be 'p' years. So, present age of 'Bishma' = (49 - p) years Let the sum of present ages of 'Arvind' and 'Bishma' be 'q' years. So, the present age of 'Arvind' = q - (49 - p) = (q + p - 49) years Four years ago from now, sum of ages of 'Arvind' and 'Chirag' was 9 years less than the sum of present ages of 'Arvind' and 'Bishma'. So, ATQ; (q + p - 49 - 4) + (p - 4) + 9 = q Or, q + 2p - 48 = q Or, 2p = 48 So, p = (48/2) = 24 So the present age of 'Chirag' = p = 24 years
