Ali's age is between 10 and 30. Currently, Ali's age is two
digits and is a multiple of 4...
Ali is either 12,16,20,24, or 28
In the following year, his age is...
In the following year his age is either 13,17,21,25, or 29.
...a multiple of 5.
So in the following year he will be 25, for 25 is the only 
one of those which is a multiple of 5
How old is Ali?
Ali is 24.
