Answer 2

Answer:

6 years ago Ram was three times Manoj.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Manoj's Present Age = 12 years

           Ram's Present Age = 24 years

To find: Years ago when Ram is 3 times Manoj

Let, x be the no of years.

So, Manoj's Age x years ago = 12 - x

Ram's Age x years ago = 24 - x

According to question,

24 - x = 3 × ( 12 - x )

24 - x = 36 - 3x

3x - x = 36 - 24

2x = 12

x = 6

Therefore, 6 years ago Ram was three times Manoj.
