Let the present age of Nisha be x years.
Then, as per given condition
Asha's age (in years) is 2 more than the square of her daughter Nisha's age.
So, Asha's age = x2 + 2
Difference in their ages = x2 + 2 - x
And,  Asha's age when Nisha's age will be (x2 + 2) years  = ( x2 + 2) + (x2 + 2 - x)
If Asha's age is one year less than 10 times the present age of Nisha = 10x - 1
So, As per given condition
(x2 + 2 - x) + (x2 + 2) = 10x - 1
2x2 - x + 4 = 10x - 1
2x2 - 11x + 5 = 0
2x2 - 10x - x + 5 = 0
2x(x - 5) - 1(x - 5) = 0
(x - 5)(2x - 1) = 0
x - 5 = 0 or 2x - 1 = 0
x = 5 or x=12
x = 5 [as age can't be a fraction]
x2 + 2 = 52 + 2 = 27
Hence, Nisha's age is 5 years and Asha's age is 27 years.
