Assume Kavi have x no. of apple and Kural y
According to the question

                    x+4 = 3(y-4)....(i)
                   y+26 =  2(x-26).....(ii)
From the equation (i) x = 3y-12-4
                                   x = 3y-16
Substtuting value of x in equation (ii)  we have
                       y+26 = 2(3y-16-26) = 6y-84
                           5y =110 

                             y = 22
Then we have x = 3*22 - 16 = 50
Therefore, Kural has 22 apples and Kavi has 50 apples
