      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the present ages of 'John' and 'Michael' be 'p' and 'q' years respectively.

      So, p + 4 + q + 4 = 70

      Or, p + q = 62 --------- (I)

      And, p - 10 = q - 10 - 8

      Or, 'p' = q - 8 ---------- (II)

      From equation I and II,

      We get, q - 8 + q = 62

      Or, 2q = 70

      Or, 'q' = 35

      Therefore, required age of 'Michael' = 35 + 6 = 41 years
