'A' is twice as old as 'B'. Three year ago 'A' was three times as old as 'B' How old is 'A' now?

Explanation

Let A's current age be x and B's current age be y.

Since A is twice as old as B, x = 2y.

Three years ago, A's age was x - 3 and B's age was y - 3.

Since A was three times as old as B, x - 3 = 3(y - 3).

Solving the equations, we get x = 12.

So, the correct answer is 12 years.
