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 $= 3 t + 2$
Total number of trees $= 102$
$\Rightarrow t + 3 t + 2 = 102$
$\Rightarrow 4 t + 2 = 102$
$\Rightarrow 4 t = 102 - 2$
$\Rightarrow 4 t = 100$
$\Rightarrow t = \frac{100}{4}$
$\Rightarrow t = 25$
Therefore, the number of fruit trees are $25$ .
