    Question

    A is 6 years older than B who is four times as old as C.

    The total sum of the ages of A, B and C is 60. How old is B?
    A 16 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 24 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 = (6+ 4x) According to the question, => A + B + C = 60 => (6 + 4x) + 4x + x = 60 => 9x = 54 => x = 6 Therefore the age of B = 4 × 6 = 24 years
