    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the present age of Sneha and Akash be '6x' years and '8x' years, respectively.

    So, present age of Vikram = 5/8 × 8x = 5x years

    Vikram's present age = (27 + 3) = 30 years.

    So, 5x = 30

    Or, x = 6

    Required sum = (6x + 8x) = (14x) = (14 × 6) = 84 years
