Age of A is 6 years more than three times the age of B. After three years, A's age will be 8 years more than twice the age of B. The average of present ages of A and (in years) is:
Let the present age of B = x
                      A             B
Present Age          3x+6           x
After 3 years     3x+6+3 = 3x+9      x+3
Given, After 3 years A's age will be 8 years more than twice the age of B
$$=$$> Â Â Â Â Â 3x+9 = 2(x+3)+8Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
         3x+9 = 2x+6+8
            x = 5
Average of Present ages of A and B = $$\ \frac{\ 3x+6+x}{2}$$
                                 = $$\ \frac{\ 4x+6}{2}$$
                                = $$\ \frac{\ 4\left(5\right)+6}{2}$$
                                = 13                        Â
