    The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one:

    Let x = Ishaan's age

    Let 4x = Ben's age

    x = 4x

    6 years ago

    x-6 = Ishaan's age

    6 (x-6) = Ben's age

    x - 6 = 6 (x - 6)

    x - 6 = 6x - 36

    -5x = - 30

    x = 6

    Ishaan's age = 6 + 6 = 12

    So, Ishaan is 12 years old.
