Answer:
Age of Tharun is 14 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let age of mother be X
age of Tharun is X/3
According to the question ,
X + X/3 = 56
=> ( 3X + X ) / 3 = 56
=> 4X / 3 = 56
=> 4X = 56 × 3
=> 4X = 168
=> X = 168 / 4
=> X = 42 = age of mother
Age of Tharun = X / 3 = 42 / 3 = 14
Therefore , Age of Tharun = 14 years
