well suppose the present ages of A, B and C be x, y and z respectively; now 4 years back the age of A and B will be x-4 and y-4 respectively; now according to the riddle find the average of their ages and put them equal to 18; {(x-4)+(y-4)}/2 =18) from here u will get x+y= 44; going through the question again we can calculate the age of C by following expression: (x+y+z)/3 = 24 and putting the value of (x+y) in the expression we will get the present age of C that is 28 and after 8 years C will be 36 years old
queries are always welcomed :)
Four years ago: A + B = 3 6
Today: 3 6 + 8 + C = 7 2 ⟹ C = 2 8
Eight years from now: C + 8 = 2 8 + 8 = 3 6

Four years ago the average age of A and B was 2 ( A − 4 ) + ( B − 4 ) = 1 8 .Simplifying this we get A + B = 4 4 .The average age of A,B and C today is 3 A + B + C = 2 4 .Substituting the value of A + B = 4 4 and simplifying,we get C = 2 8 .So the age of C 8 years from now will be 2 8 + 8 = 3 6
