Explanation:

Correct option 2: 15 years

At present, the ratio between the ages of Arun and Deepak is 4:3.
Let age of Arun is 4a and Deepak's age is 3x.
After 6 years, Arun's age will be 26 years.
According to question: 4x + 6 = 26,

4x = 26 - 6,

4x = 20,

x = 20/, 4x = 5 years Therefore, age of Deepak at present = 3x = 3 x 5 = 15 years
