42-30=3x-x

12=2x

2x=12

x=12/2

x=6

6 years ago ANS..

Answer 2

Answer:

6 years ago

Step-by-step explanation:

age of meena = 14

age of prakash = 30

take the ratio of praksh and meena as 30:14 = 15:7

new ratio 3:1

equaling the ratio we get 30:14  and 24:8

so 1 unit = 6

so 6 years ago praksh was 3 times as old as meena

6 years ago age of prakash= 24  and age of meena = 8
