You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I = x
A = 3x
After 10 years
I = x+10
A = 2(x+10) = 2x+20
(x+3x)+10 = (x+10+2x+20)
4x+10 = 3x+30
x = 20
3x = 60
Check-----
(x+3x)+10 = (x+10+2x+20)
90 = 90

The other person is WRONG!

Asim is NOT 60 - FAR from it, and Irfan is NOT 20. Again, far from it!

Asim is now 3 times as old as irfan. After 10 years, Asim will be twice as old as irfan. Asim age at this time is.
====================
A = 3I
A+10 = 2(I+10) = 2I+20
3I+10 = 2I+20
I = 10
A = 30
