      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the present age of Rishi and Tarun be '3x' years and '4x' years, respectively.

      So, present age of Varun = 5/4 Γ— 4x = 5x years

      Varun's present age = (18 + 12) = 30 years.

      So, 5x = 30

      Or, x = 6

      Required sum = (3x + 4x) = (7x) = (7 Γ— 6) = 42 years
