    3:2, respectively. Six years hence from now, the age of β€˜B’ will be 20 years. If the average of present ages of β€˜A’, β€˜B’ and β€˜C’ is 19 years, then find the present age of β€˜C’.
    A 20 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 25 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 22 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 23 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the present ages of β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ be 3x years and 2x years, respectively Therefore, 2x + 6 = 20 Or, 2x = 14 Or, x = 7 Sum of present ages of β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ = 3x + 2x = 35 years Sum of present ages of β€˜A’, β€œB’ and β€˜C’ = 19 Γ— 3 = 27 years Therefore, present age of β€˜C’ = 57 – 35 = 22 years
