Madhu's age is 3 times Sanku's age and difference between their ages is 14. Then find their ages?

Madhu's age = 21 and Sanku's age=7

Step-by-step explanation:

let the age of Madhu be x and age of Sanku be y.

now,

x=3y-equation (i)

then,

x-y=14

or, 3y-y=14

or, 2y=14

or, y=14/2

:. y=7

at last, putting value of y in equation (i)

x=3y

or, x=3x7

or, x=21

Therefore, Madhu's age is 21 and Sanku's age is 7

Let's take Sanku as x.

if Madhu is 3 times his age, then he is 3x.

the difference in their age is 14, so

3x - x = 14

2x = 14

x=7

Sanku is 7

Madhu is 21
