• (x-3)/x =2/3
  3x-9=2x ==>x=9;so tom age is 9 ,tina = x-3=9-3=6;
  6:9 ==>2:3

• t=tom
  (t/t-3)=(3/2)
  t=9

• Tina=Tom-3
  Tina/Tom=2/3
  (Tom-3)/Tom=2/3
  2Tom=3(Tom-3)
  2Tom=3Tom-9
  Tom=9 yrs
  Hence,
  Tina=Tom-3
  Tina=9-3
  Tina=6 yrs

• Let X be age of Tom
  So,x-3 is age of Tina
  (X-3)/X=2/3
  3x-9=2x
  X=9(Tom age)
  X-3=9-3=6
  Tina age is 6.
