James rsquo present age is 2 7th of his father rsquo s present age James rsquo brother is three year......

James’ present age is 2/7th of his father’s present age. James’ brother is three year older to James. The respective ratio between present ages of James’ father and James’ brother is 14:5. What is the present age of James?

James’ father present age = x
James’ age = 2/7 x
James’ brother age = 2/7 x + 3
x/(2/7x + 3) = 14/5
x = 42
James’ age = 2/7 x = 2/7 * 42 = 12
