Q:
A is three times as old as B. C was twice-as old as A four years ago. In four years' time, A will be 31. What are the present ages of B and C ?
Answer & Explanation
Answer: C) 9, 50
Explanation: Let the age of A = A, B = B and C = C
From given
A = 3B
4 years ago,
C-4 = 2(A-4);
After 4 years
A + 4 = 31;
A = 27;
sub in above B, we get B = 9
C = 2(27 - 4) + 4 = 46 + 4 = 50
Hence B = 9yrs and C = 50yrs.
