      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let Rohan and Neha’s ages 4 years ago be '9x' and '10x' respectively.

      Rohan’s age after 12 years = 9x + 4 + 12 = (9x + 16) years

      Neha’s age after 12 years = 10x + 4 + 12 = (10x + 16) years

      ATQ,

      (9x + 16)/(10x + 16) = 11/12

      ⇒ 12(9x + 16) = 11(10x + 16)

      ⇒ 108x + 192 = 110x + 176

      ⇒ 16 = 2x

      ⇒ x = 8

      So, present age of Neha = 10 × 8 + 4 = 84 years
