Answer 1

Answer:

Krishna's age will be 36 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's gopal age = x

So, Krishna's age will be 3x

After 13 years,

Gopal's age = x+13

Krishna's age = 3x+13

According to question,

3x + 13 = 2(x+13) -1

3x + 13 = 2x + 25

Hence, x = 12

So Krishna's age = 3x = 3 * 12 = 36 years
