      Solution

      ATQ;
      Given,
      (X-(x+1)): (Y+(x+2)) = 1: 2 …(i)
      Also, age of Z = 34- 5 = 29 years
      So, age of X = 29- 4 = 25 years
      Age of Y= 29+5 = 34 years
      Now, using equation (i), we get,
      (X-(x+1)) : (Y+(x+2)) = 1: 2
      (25 – x-1) : (34+x+2) = 1: 2
      48 – 2x = 36 + x
      3x = 48 – 36
      3x = 12
      x = 12 Γ· 3 = 4
