If Varun's age is increased by 3 times his age, the result is 96 years. His present age is 24 years or 32 years
-------------
Age + 3*Age = 96
Age = 24
==================================
3 times greater = 4 times as great
----
A lot of people seem to think they're the same, ie, 3 times older = 3 times as old.
================
Then there's "10 times smaller." 1 time smaller is zero (0).
===================================
It's called gibberish.
