navin's age = 28 years
Let
at present Naveen age = x years
after 32 years naveen's age = ( x + 32 ) years
naveen's age 8 years ago = ( x - 8 ) years
according to the problem given,
x + 32 = 3 ( x - 8 )
x + 32 = 3x - 24
32 + 24 = 3x - x
56 = 2x
2x = 56
x = 56 / 2
x = 28
Therefore ,
at present naveen's age = x = 28 years
