the correct question is
Christopher is 20 years younger than Ishaan. Ishaan and Christopher first met two years ago. Fourteen years ago, Ishaan was 3 times as old as Christopher.

How old is Christopher now?

let
x------> Christopher s age
y------> Ishaan s age

we know that
x=y-20-----> equation 1
y-14=(x-14)*3------> equation 2

substitute equation 1 in equation 2
y-14=(y-20-14)*3-----> y-14=3y-102
3y-y=102-14-----> 2y=88-----> y=44
x=y-20-----> x=44-20-----> x=24

so
Christopher s age is 24 years old
Ishaan s age is 44 years old

the answer is
Christopher is 24 years old now
