Answer Posted / janardhana babu
PETER=X PAUL=42-X
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TWO AGES IS (2X-42)[IF X IS GREATER THAN
42-X]
"Peter is twice as old as Paul was when Peter was
as old as Paul is now"
THIS STATEMENT SAYS THAT PRESENT AGE OF PETER=(2*PAUL) WHEN
PETER AGE =PAUL AGE...AND DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO AGES
WILL ALWAYS BE SAME WEN 'N' YEARS AGO OR HENCE..
SO EQUATION WILL BE
X = {42-X-(2X-42)}
PETER PAUL AGE WHEN peter age = paul age
AGE
by solving this equation you will get X=24(peter age)
