Solution
Ratio of Anil and Sandeep age 1 year ago is 6:7
Let there ages one year ago be 6x and 7x respectively
Then there present ages will be 6x +1, and 7x +1
After 4 year there ages will be 6x +1 + 4 and 7x + 1 + 4 respectively.
These ages are in ratio of 7:8
Hence
Or x = 5
Hence Sandeep present age is 7(5) + 1 = 36 years
