The ratio of ages of A and B, 2 years ago was 5:2. The
sum of present ages of A, B and C is 64 years. If present age of C is equal to sum of present ages of A and B. Find the present age of C.Solution
Let present age of A = (5x + 2) yrs And present age of B = (2x + 2) yrs C’s present age = (5x + 2) + (2x + 2) = (7x + 4) yrs According to question, => (5x + 2) + (2x + 2) + (7x + 4) = 64 => 14x + 8 = 64 => 14x = 56 => x = 4 Therefore the present age of C = (7x + 4) = 32 years
