Answer:

12 years

Explanation:

Let Kishor's present age be denoted by x.

According to the question :

  • He will 3 times as old as he was 4 years ago after 12 years

Therefore, the equation is :

  • x + 12 = 3(x - 4)

Solving :

  • x + 12 = 3x - 12
  • 3x - x = 12 + 12
  • 2x = 24
  • x = 12 years

Hence, Kishor's present age is 12 years.
