We need to determine the age of X based on the given relationships between the ages of five people: V, W, X, Y, and Z.
Step-by-Step Age Calculation
- Start with the known age: We are given that the age of V is 3.
\( V = 3 \)
- Calculate W's age: W is twice the age of V.
\( W = 2 \times V \)
\( W = 2 \times 3 = 6 \)
- Calculate Z's age: Z is four times the age of W.
\( Z = 4 \times W \)
\( Z = 4 \times 6 = 24 \)
- Calculate Y's age: Y is half the age of Z.
\( Y = \frac{Z}{2} \)
\( Y = \frac{24}{2} = 12 \)
- Calculate X's age: X is thrice the age of Y.
\( X = 3 \times Y \)
\( X = 3 \times 12 = 36 \)
Therefore, the age of X is 36.
