Rahim is 6 years older than David and David is 8 years older than Amar. After 8 years, if Rahim will be twice as old as Amar. then 4 years ago, David’s age was
Let the present age of Rahim $$=x$$ years
So, the present age of David$$=x-6$$
and the present age of Amar$$=x-6-8=x-14$$years
After the 8 years, age of Rahim will be $$x+8$$
After the 8 years, age of Amar will be $$x-14+8=x-6$$
As per the condition given in the question, $$x+8=2(x-6)$$
Hence, $$2x-x=12+8$$
$$x=20$$years
Hence, the present age of David $$=20-6=14$$years
4 years ago, the age of David $$=14-4=10$$years.
