Question

Today is Varun’s birthday. One year after, from today he will be twice as old as he was 12 years ago. How old is Varun today ?
1. 20 years
2. 22 years
3. 25 years
4. 27 years

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : 25 years

Calculation:

Let Varun's age today be x years

Then, Varun's age after 1 years = (x + 1) years

Now, according to question

⇒ (x + 1) = 2(x – 12) years

⇒ (x + 1) = (2x – 24) years

⇒ x = 25 years

∴ Varun age today is 25 years
