Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 2 : 12 years

Given:

Sumit’s age after 12 years = 6 times of Sumit’s age 8 years back

Calculation:

Let the present age of Sumit = x years

Sumit’s age after 12 years = (x + 12) years

Sumit’s age before 8 years = (x – 8) years

Now, according to the question

⇒ x + 12 = 6 × (x – 8)

⇒ x + 12 = 6x – 48

⇒ 5x = 60

⇒ x = 12 years

∴ The present age of Sumit is 12 years.
