Question
Today is Varun's birthday. One year, from today he will be twice as old as he was 12 years ago. How old is Varun today?
Options
A. 20 years
B. 22 years
C. 25 years
D. 27 years

Correct Answer

25 years

Explanation

Let Varan's age today = x years.

Then, Varan's age after 1 year = (x + 1) years.

Therefore x + 1 = 2 (x - 12) ⟺ x + 1 = 2x - 24 ⟺ x = 25.
