      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the present ages of 'Aman' and 'Bittu' be 'p' and 'q' years respectively.

      So, p + 3 + q + 3 = 42

      Or, p + q = 36 --------- (I)

      And, p - 8 = q - 8 - 6

      Or, 'p' = q - 6 ---------- (II)

      From equation I and II,

      We get, q - 6 + q = 36

      Or, 2q = 42

      Or, 'q' = 21

      Therefore, required age of 'Bittu' = 21 + 4 = 25 years
