A problem of Age



       Today was Lakshmi’s birthday. She turned 24. Lakshmi is twice as old as ramu was when Lakshmi was as old as ramu now. How old is ramu now?

Answer:    Ramu is 18 years old.

24 – x years ago lakshmi was x years old and now she is 24.
24- x years ago Ramu was x- (24 – x) years old.
Today he is x years old.
24 = 2(2x – 24)
X=8
