Answer:

15 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Ishaan's age = x years

Ben is 4 times as old as Ishaan.

Hence, Ben's age is 4*x years

6 years ago,Ishaan's age was (x-6) years.

6 years ago,Ben's age was (4x-6) years.

6 years ago, ben was 6 times older than ishaan.

=> [tex]\[(4x-6) = 6*(x-6)\][/tex]

=> [tex]\[4x-6 = 6x-36\][/tex]

=> [tex]\[6x-4x = 36-6\][/tex]

=> [tex]\[2x = 30\][/tex]

=> [tex]\[x = \frac{30}{2}\][/tex]

=> [tex]\[x = 15\][/tex]
