Given:

From Statement I,

Praveen's present age = 2 × (Bipin's present age)

From statement II,

4 years ago Praveen's age = 3 × (4 years ago Bipin's age)

Calculation:

From statement I and II together,

Let Bipin's present age be x years.

And Praveen's present age = 2x years

4 years ago Bipin's age = (x - 4) years

4 years ago Praveen's age = (2x - 4) years

Now according to the statement II,

(2x - 4) = 3(x - 4)

⇒ 2x - 4 = 3x - 12

⇒ 3x - 2x = 12 - 4

⇒ x = 8

Hence, the present age of Praveen = 2 × 8

⇒ 16 years

∴ Both statement I and statement II together is needed to answer the question.
