Explanation

Shilpa's age three years ago was x, so her present age is x + 3. Since Arpita's present age is thrice Shilpa's present age, it is 3(x + 3).

AI explanation

Let Shilpa's present age be S. Since her age three years ago was x, we have S - 3 = x, meaning S = x + 3. Arpita's present age is thrice Shilpa's present age, so Arpita's age is 3(x + 3). The result is 3(x + 3).
