Solution

Let the number of fruit trees be t.

It is given that, The number of non-fruit trees were two more than three times the number of fruit trees
Then the number of non-fruits tree =3t+2

Total number of trees =102
t+3t+2=102
4t+2=102

4t=1022
4t=100

t=1004
t=25
Therefore, the number of fruit trees are 25.
