  • Question

  • Options
  • A. 32
  • B. 24
  • C. 20
  • D. 18

  • Correct Answer
  • 18 

    Explanation

    Let us assume the present age of the person be P years.
    3 years hence the age of person = P + 3
    3 years ago the age of person = P - 3
    According to question,
    Take my age three years hence, multiply it by 3 and then subtract 3 times my age three years ago,
    = 3(P + 3) - 3(P - 3)
    = 3P + 9 - 3P + 9
    = 18 years
    Hence, age of the person = 18 years
