Answer

These are the examples of perfective and imperfective aspects of Russian verbs. 
Спрашивать, просить - imperfective
Спросить, попросить - perfective.

Also, there is a difference in meaning. Спрашивать и спросить - to ask about some information, whereas просить и попросить - to ask someone to do something.

Удачи :)
