ago X was three times as old as Y. The
present age of Y is :​

Answer 1

Answer:

age of Mr. X = 12

age of Mr. Y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

let present age of Mr. Y be = a

present age of Mr. X will be = 2a

age of Y 3 years ago = a - 3

age of Mr. X 3 years ago = 2a - 3

3 years ago X was 3 times of Y

3(a - 3) = (2a - 3)

3a - 9 = 2a - 3

3a - 2a = - 3 + 9

a = 6

present age of Mr. Y = a = 6

present age of Mr. X = 2a = 2 × 6 = 12

hope you get your answer
