b.57

dono eact method but solved from options...

first check C option...
divide 36 into 3 parts since give that J=2Q...

hence 36/3
12
if q=12 thn j=24

but if (j-4)-(q+3)=12
ths condition is not satisfied...

now take 57...

divide 57/3

= 19

hence j=38 & q=19

now check condition (j-4)-(q+3)=12

hence the answer is

B.) 57

RE: Jalia is twice older than Qurban

very simple logic is take julia as 2x
qurban as x

then]
(2x-4)-(x+3)=12
so x=19
so the present sum of ages is 38+19=57
