    Slim and Trim have the same birthday. Slim is twice as old as Trim was
    when Slim was as old as Trim is now. If Slim is 24 now, how old is
    Trim now?

    I got the solution.
    .
    slim(current) slim(past) trim(past).
    2k x k

    2k=24.
    k=12.
    we know that trim is of x years old now.
    so,
    k+(2k-x)=x.
    3k-x=x.
    3k=2x.
    x=3k/2.
    put k=12.
    and now trim is of x=18.
    .
    Am i right rishi ??
