Answer:

Neil is 28yrs and his brother is 42yrs old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r = Neil's brother's age at birth time

2r = Neil's age now

This means that his brother's current age is 3r

So when Neil = 3r old

His brother = 4r old

3r + 4r = 98

7r = 98

r = 14

So their ages now

Neil's brother = 3*14= 42

Neil = 2*14= 28.
