Solution:

Let the ratio of age of Tom and Jerry before 4 years = 11x: 8x

Present age of Tom = 11x + 4

Present age of Jerry = 8x + 4

Thus, (11x + 4 + 2) – (8x + 4 + 4) = 10

11x + 6 – 8x − 8= 10

3x – 2 = 10

x = 4

Present age of Jerry = 8x + 4 = 8 ×  4 + 4 = 32 + 4

Present age of Jerry = 36 years
