1. Answer:

   • Hari’s age is 7 years and
   • Mohan’s age is 10 years.

   Step-by-step explanation:

   Let Hari’s age = x years

   Let Mohan’s age = (x-6) years

   Six years ago Hari’s age = (x+3-6)

   and ” ” ” Mohan’s age = (x+3-6)

   = (x-3) years

   [tex]Therefore, according \: to \: the \: question ,\: x – 3 = 4(x – 6) \\ \\ \longrightarrow \: x – 3 = 4x – 24 \\ \\ \longrightarrow \: x – 4x = – 24 + 3 \\ \\ \longrightarrow \cancel – 3x = \cancel – 21 \\ \\ \longrightarrow \: x = \cancel\frac{21}{3} \\ \\ \longrightarrow \: x = 7[/tex]

   Hari’s age = 7 years

   and Mohan’s age = 7+3

   = 10 years.
