step-by-step explanation:
Let the present age of Navin be 'x' years.
therefore,
His age after 32 yrs = (x+32) years
and,
His age 8 yrs ago = (x-8) years
Now,
A.T.Q
after 32 years Navin will be three times as old as he was 8 years ago
Therefore,
we get,
=> x + 32 = 3(x-8)
=> x + 32 = 3x - 24
=> 3x - x = 32 + 24
=> 2x = 56
On cross multiplication,
we get,
=> x = 56/2
=> x = 28
Hence,
present age of Navin = 28 years
