    Answer : Option C

    Explanation :

    Let the age of Seeta is 2X and age of Geeta 7X.

    As per question after 6 years;

    Apti Problem on ages 16

    4X +12 = 7X + 6

    -3X = -6

    X = 2

    ∴Age of Seeta = 2 * 2 = 4 years

    Age of Geeta = 7 * 2 = 14 years

    Difference in their ages = 14 - 4 = 10 years
