  • B 20 years
  • C 24 years
  • D 32 years
Correct Answer: Option A

Explanation

Person's present age: x years
Person's age three years in the future: x + 3 years
Person's age three years in the past: x - 3 years
3(x + 3) - 3(x - 3) = x
3x + 9 - 3x + 9 = x
18 = x
The person's current age is 18 years old.
