Question

Answer

Problem Analysis:
Let's assume Varun's current age is X years.
According to the given information, one year from today, Varun will be X + 1 years old.
And 12 years ago, Varun was X - 12 years old.

Solution:

To solve this problem, we need to use the information given in the question and form an equation.

According to the problem, one year from today, Varun will be twice as old as he was 12 years ago.
So, we can form the equation as:
X + 1 = 2(X - 12)

Now, let's solve this equation to find the value of X, which represents Varun's current age.

Simplifying the equation:
X + 1 = 2X - 24
Subtract X from both sides of the equation:
1 = X - 24
Add 24 to both sides of the equation:
X = 25

Therefore, Varun is 25 years old today.

Conclusion:
Hence, the correct answer is option 'C', which states that Varun is 25 years old today.
