SSC CHSL - 14th October 2020 - Shift 3 • Reasoning • Q92

Arun is celebrating his birthday today. On his next birthday, he will be twice his age that was 12 years ago. How old is Arun today?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e 25 years

Understanding

Let the present age of Arun = x

Age 12 years ago = x - 12

Age on next birthday = x + 1

According to the question;

x + 1 = 2(x - 12)

x + 1 = 2x - 24

x = 25 years

Hence, option 2 is correct.
