Explanation:

Let the present ages of Kidambi and Srikanth be x years and y years respectively.
As per the question,
(x + 14) + (y + 14) = 2(x + y)
x + y + 28 = 2x + 2y
x + y = 28 .....(i)
Also,
y + 8 = x
x – y = 8 .....(ii)
Solving eqns (i) and (ii), we get
x = 18 and y = 10
Therefore, Present ages of Kidambi and Srikanth is 18 years and 10 years respectively
