Q:
A) 11 yrs | B) 9 yrs |
C) 7 yrs | D) 13 yrs |
Answer: B) 9 yrs
Explanation:
Explanation:
Let the present ages of A and B be 'x' and 'y' respectively
From the given data,
[(x-2) + (y-2)]/2 = 26
=> x+y = 56
But given the age of A, 5 years hence is 40 yrs => present age of A = 40 - 5 = 35 yrs
=> x = 35 => y = 56 - 35 = 21
=> Age of B = 21 yrs
Given B is 5 years younger to C,
=> Age of C = 21 + 5 = 26 yrs
=> Required Difference between ages of A and C = 35 - 26 = 9 yrs.
