Shyam's age is 3 times that of Ramesh. After 12 years, Shyam's age will be double the age of Ramesh. Shyam's present age is?

27 years
32 years

Correct Answer: 36 years

Explanation:

Let Ramesh's present age be x years. Then Shyam's present age = 3x years.

⇒ x = 12
Hence, Shyam's present age is 36 years.
