Answer:
a. 4n years
b. n-3 years
c. 9 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
if n=9,
then Nat's age=9 years
Nat's mother age =36 years
Nat's sister age=9-3=6 years
let after t years Nat's mother age will be 3 times his sister age.
ATQ,
3×(6+t)=36+t
=> 18+3t =36+t
=> 2t = 18
=> t= 9
so after 9 years Nat's mother age will be 3 times his sister age.
