The question is wrong. His uncle is 3 times his age; not 3 times older. At 60 vs 20, his uncle is 40 years older. Same as when 80 vs 40. Just this time, he is twice his age. It is a case of addition vs multiplication. Mathematician, over to you...

Yes and that makes his uncle's age twice his age as against when he was 20years and the uncle was 60years which by division, is thrice his uncle's age.

the question is, why is it that his age reduce from thrice to twice even after another 20years added to their ages?

Hope this helps.

But instead of being thrice his age that is
20 x 3 = 60 he will be twice his age 40 x 2= 80....
Inspite of the 40 year gap.

The boy was noticed because he was thinking about such things showing that he has an inquisitive mind. The kind of students that they want.

Its basic arithmetic, not even maths. What matters is that the gap is still 40yrs. Is like saying a man of 50yrs is 50times the age of his 1yr old son and when he is 100yrs, he is about 2 times cos the son will be 50yrs. Its arithmetic, so basic!
