  Let the Jay has j diamonds, then Rohit has 3j diamonds.
  Given Jay's age= 24 years
  
  Condition 1:
  When Rohit gives to jay as many diamonds as jay's age, Rohit will be left with twice the number of diamonds than jay.
  So 2*(j+24)= 3j- 24 , 2j+48 = 3j -24 , j=72
  Hence Jay has 72 diamonds and Rohit has 3*72=216 diamonds.
  
  Condition 2:
  When Jay gives Rohit as many diamonds as Rohit's age, Rohit will have 11 times the number of diamonds than Jay will be left with.
  Let the present age of Rohit be 'x' years ,then
  11*(72 -x) = 216+x
  792 -11x =216+x
  12x=576
  x=48
