Answer: Helen is 8 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Helen’s age is a multiple of 4.

i.e. Choices for Helen’s age = 4, 8 , 16, ...

Helen’s older brother is now 19.

That means Helen's age < 19

Choices for Helen's age left = 4, 8, 16

Next year it’ll be a multiple of 3.

That is only possible if Helen's age = 8

Because next year her age = 8+1 = 9 years which is divisible by 3.

Hence, Helen is 8 years old.
