C Correct answer
Explanation

Let ages be 3x and 2x. Product = 6x^2 = 24, so x^2 = 4, x = 2. Ages are 3(2) = 6 and 2(2) = 4.

AI explanation

Let the ages of Pihu and Pakhi be 3x and 2x respectively. The product of their ages is 24, giving the equation 3x multiplied by 2x equals 24. This simplifies to 6x squared equals 24, so x squared equals 4 and x equals 2. Multiplying the ratio values by 2 gives their ages as 6 years and 4 years.
