1) Kartik celebrate his 9th birthday 3 years ago,

Present ageof Kartik = 9 + 3 = 12 years

2) After 7 years the kishan age will be 4 times of kartik age

7 + kishan present age = 4 (kartik present age)

Kishan present age = (4 × 12) - 7

48 - 7 = 41 years.

3) Present age of Ashok is twice the present age of Kishan.

Present age of Ashok = 2 × (Present age of Kishan)

= 2 × 42 = 82 years.

Hence 82 is the correct answer.
