Answer:
uncle =32
nephew=16
Step-by-step explanation:
let uncle present age = x years
let nephew present age = y years
x = 2y --------------------1
8 years ago,
Uncle age = x-8years
Nephew age y-8years
ATQ
x-8 = 3(y-8)
x-8 = 3y-24
x-3y = -24+8
2y-3y = -16 (x=2y from eq.1)
-y = -16
y = 16 years
put y = 16 in eq.1
x = 2y
x = 2×16
x = 32 years
Uncle present age = 32years
Nephew present age = 16years
