X's age 3 years ago was three times the present age of Y. At present, Z's age is twice the age of Y. Also Z is 12 years younger than X. What is the present age of Z

  • 15 years
  • 24 years
  • 12 years
  • 6 years
  • 18 years
  • Explanation:

    Let present age of Y =a

    Present age of X = 3a+3

    Present age of Z = 2a

    According to question,

    3a+3-2a = 12

    a=12-3=9

    ∴Z's present age = 2 × 9 =18 years

X's age 3 years ago was three times the present age of Y. At present, Z's age is twice the age of Y.
