1. 20

   Let Priyanka’s present age is x yrs.

   Then Deepika’s present age is x−6 yrs.

   Then according to the problem,

   x+x−6=34

   or, 2x=40

   or, x=20.

   So Priyankan’s present age is 20 yrs.

2. [tex]\textrm{Age of Rupali + Age of Dipali = 34 years}[/tex]

   [tex]\longrightarrow\rm{(6+x) + x = 34 \:years\quad…\:Considering\:Age\:of\:Dipali = x}[/tex]

   [tex]\longrightarrow\rm{6+x + x = 34 \:years}\longrightarrow\rm{6+2x = 34 \:years}[/tex]

   [tex]\longrightarrow\rm{2x = 34 \:years – 6\:years = 28\:years}[/tex]

   [tex]\longrightarrow\rm{x = 28/2\:years}\longrightarrow\rm{x = 14\:years}[/tex]

   [tex]\bigstar\textrm{ Hence, Age of Deepali = 14 years $\&$ Age of Rupali = 14 years + 6 years = 20 years}[/tex]
