Solution:

Given, after 18 years, Swarnim will be 4 times as old as he is now.

His present age is ______.

We have to fill in the blanks to make the statement true.

Let the present age of Swarnim be x.

Age of Swarnim after 18 years = x + 18

According to the question,

x + 18 = 4x

By grouping of common terms,

4x - x = 18

x(4 - 1) = 18

3x = 18

x = 18/3

x = 6

Therefore, the present age is 6 years.
