Soham's present age is 24 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Parth be x

We are given that Soham is 10 years younger than Parth

Soham's present age = x-10

Eight years ago Soham's age was three times his current income, which was 4 years more than Parth's double age.

Soham's age 8 years ago = 3(x-10)

Parth's age 8 years ago = 2x

ATQ

3(x-10)-2x=4\\3x-30-2x=4\\x-30=4\\x=34

Soham's present age = x-10 = 34-10 = 24

Hence Soham's present age is 24 years
