Given Information
(A +5) = 3(B+5) - i
5C = B - ii
C- 3 = 3 - iii
Now from iii
Present age of C = 6
then from ii
B = 5 C
=> present age of B = 30
Now from i
A+5 = 3(B+5)
=> A = 3B + 15 - 5
=> A = 120 +10
=> A = 130 years
Hope it helps (if it is correct )!!

Let A be of A years.
Let B be of B years
Let C be of C years
Now:
after 5 years A will be thrice as old as B
==> A + 5 will be thrice as B + 5
==> A + 5 = 3 ( B + 5 )
==> A + 5 = 3 B + 15
==> A = 3 B + 15 - 5
==> A = 3 B + 10 ....................................................(1)
Now:
B is 5 times older than C
==> B = 5 C ................................................(2)
Now
C ' s age before 3 years was 3 years:
===> C - 3 = 3
==> C = 6.................................(3)
Putting the value of C in 2 we get:-
B = 5 C
==> B = 5 * 6
==> B = 30
Putting this value of B in (1) we get:-
A = 3 B + 10
==> A = 3 * 30 + 10
==> A = 90 + 10
==> A = 100
The present age of A is 100 years
Hope this helps you !
