Explanation

Aman's age 13 years ago = 59 - 13 = 46. Nina's age 13 years ago = 37 - 13 = 24. The ratio of Nina to Aman is 24 : 46, which simplifies to 12 : 23.

AI explanation

Thirteen years ago, Aman was 59 - 13 = 46 years old and Nina was 37 - 13 = 24 years old. The ratio of Nina's age to Aman's age at that time was 24 / 46. Dividing both numbers by 2 simplifies this ratio to 12:23.
