A Correct answer
Explanation

Average of Amit (A) and Anil (N) is 32, so A + N = 64. A = N + 6. Substituting: N + 6 + N = 64 => 2N = 58 => N = 29.

AI explanation

Let Anil's present age be x years, which makes Amit's age x + 6 years. Using the average formula, their combined age is 32 times 2, or 64 years. Therefore, x + x + 6 = 64, which simplifies to 2x = 58 and x = 29. Anil's present age is 29 years.
