Explanation

Rakesh is 36. 12 years ago, Rakesh was 24. Deepak was 1/4 of 24 = 6. Deepak's present age = 6 + 12 = 18. After 27 years, Deepak's age = 18 + 27 = 45.

AI explanation

Twelve years ago, Rakesh's age was 36 - 12 = 24 years. At that time Deepak's age was one fourth of Rakesh's, making Deepak's age 12 years ago equal to 24 / 4 = 6 years. Deepak's present age is 6 + 12 = 18 years, and after 27 years his age will be 18 + 27 = 45 years. The age of Deepak after 27 years is 45.
