Quiet simple.
So man's present age is 37.
So let the number of years in which his age will be twice the sum of his sons age be x.
In x years, he will be 37+x years old.
In x years , the kids will be 8+x and 3+x years old. Sum of which is 11+2x
So
37+x=2(11+2x)
On solving,
X=5
So in 5 years , the scenario will happen. What is important here is that, we need to know what the question is.only then can we focus on the answer.
