    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the present age of Mohit and Raman be '7x' years and '11x' years, respectively.

    So, present age of Rahul = 3/11 × 11x = 3x years

    Rahul's present age = (14 + 7) = 21 years.

    So, 3x = 21

    Or, x = 7

    Required sum = (7x + 11x) = (18x) = (18 × 7) = 126 years
