Answer: Vu is 15 years old now.

Explanation:

Let present age of WU be x.

Then, the present age of Vu = 3x

Also, After 25 years

Age of Wu = x+25

According to the question:

$(x+25)=2(3x)\\\\\Rightarrow\ x+25=6x\\\\\Rightarrow\5x=25\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=5$

Present age of Vu = 3(5) = 15

Hence, Vu is 15 years old now.
