      Question

      A is 8 years older than B who is four times as old as C.

      The total sum of the ages of A, B and C is 35. How old is B?
      A 15 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 25 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 12 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 20 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the present age of C be x years. Now, B’s age will be = 4x And A’s age will be = (8+ 4x) According to the question, => A + B + C = 35 => (8 + 4x) + 4x + x = 35 => 9x = 27 => x = 3 Therefore the age of B = 4 × 3 = 12 years
