    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
