Answer 2

Answer:

21 years and 6 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Piyush's present age be X.

Fourteen years ago,

Piyush's age=x-14

Also,one third of present age=1/3x

x-14=1/3x

x/3 +x=14

x+3x/3=14

4x/3=14

x=14×3/4

x= 7×3/2

x= 21/2

thus, present age of Piyush is 21.5 years.

means 21years and 6 months.
