24 years old Maaz is three times as old as his brother Haris. How old will Maaz be when he is twice as old as Haris?
- 28 years
- 32 years
- 26 years
- None of these
Explanation
Let's break it down:
Maaz's current age = 24 years
Haris's current age = 24 / 3 = 8 years
Let x be the number of years that pass before Maaz is twice as old as Haris.
Maaz's age = 24 + x
Haris's age = 8 + x
According to the problem:
24 + x = 2(8 + x)
24 + x = 16 + 2x
24 - 16 = 2x - x
8 = x
So, x = 8 years.
Maaz's age after 8 years = 24 + 8 = 32 years
