Answer:
7 and 21 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the age of B be x
Then, age of A will be 3x
According to question,
A's age is 84
B's age will be 84×5/6 = 70
Since, The difference between both ages will remain same, No matter how much they grow up.
3x- x = 84-70
=> 2x = 14
=> x = 7
3x = 21 years
