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

Answer:

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
