      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let present ages = 3x, 5x, y

      5 yrs ago: 3x–5, 5x–5, y–5

      (3x–5 + 5x–5 + y–5) = 84

      β‡’ 8x + y – 15 = 84 β‡’ 8x + y = 99 ...(I)

      Also, 3x = y – 11 β‡’ y – 3x = 11 ...(II)

      (I) – (II): 8x + y – y + 3x = 99 – 11 β‡’ 11x = 88 β‡’ x = 8

      Then y = 3x + 11 = 24 + 11 = 35

      Tarun’s age 7 years hence = 42 years
