Let's denote Varun's current age as X.

According to the problem, one year from today, Varun will be twice as old as he was 12 years ago.

This can be written as an equation: X + 1 = 2 * (X - 12)

Solving this equation will give us Varun's current age.

First, distribute the 2 on the right side of the equation: X + 1 = 2X - 24

Then, subtract X from both sides to get: 1 = X - 24

Finally, add 24 to both sides to solve for X: X = 25

So, Varun is 25 years old today.
