    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    Let 12 years ago age of Badri was X years and age of Budh was 2X.

    So, present age of Badri = X + 12

    And, present age of Budh = 2X + 12

    As per question;

    Apti Problem on ages 20

    6X + 36 = 4X + 48

    2X = 12

    X = 6

    Present age of Badri = 6 + 12 = 18 years

    Present age of Budh = 2*6 +12= 24 years

    Required difference between their ages = 24 - 18 = 6 years
