Your if-statements are valid but almost certainly not what you wanted
if (age < 10); {
What you have is equivalent to:
if (age < 10) { /* do nothing */ }
{
cout << ...
}
if (age >= 11) { /* do nothing */ }
{
cout << ...
}
If you compile with warning level 3 (/W3) you get:
kk9.cpp(14) : warning C4390: ';' : empty controlled statement found; is this the intent
kk9.cpp(17) : warning C4390: ';' : empty controlled statement found; is this the intent

My earlier response does answer your question - but I'll restate it
Your if-statments are empty (because of the misplaced ;) therefore your calls to cout are not guarded and thus they are both executed.
