Rahim is 12 years old. He is three times older than Karim. What will be the age of Rahim when he is two times older than Karim?

A 15 years
B 16 years
C 17 years
D 18 years

Correct Answer: 16 years

If karim's age is x, then Rahim's age will be 3x. According to question , 3x = 12 ∴ x = 4 after y years, Rahim's age will be doubled than Karim. ∴ 12 + y = 2 (4 + y) ⇒y = 4 at the time, Rahim's age  =  3x  +  y  = 3 × 4 + 4 = 16
