    Solution

    Let the present age of Deepak be β€˜x’ years Therefore, present age of Neeraj = x + 2x = β€˜3x’ years Let, present age of Prakash be β€˜y’ years Given, y – x = 7 Or, x = y – 7 Also, (3x + 7) = 2 Γ— (y + 7) Or, 3 Γ— (y – 7) + 7 = 2y + 14 Or, 3y – 21 + 7 = 2y + 14 Or, y = 28 Therefore, x = y – 7 = 21 Therefore, present age of Neeraj = 3x = 3 Γ— 21 = 63 years
