      A is 3 years older than B while C is 4 years younger

      than B. The ratio of age of A, 8 years hence and age of B, 6 years ago is 5:4. What was age of C, 12 years ago?
      A 41 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 24 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 30 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 58 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the present age of B be x years. Aโ€™s present age = (x + 3) years Cโ€™s present age = (x - 4) years According to question, => [(x + 3) + 8]/(x -6) = 5/4 => x = 74 Cโ€™s age, 12 years ago = (74 - 4) โ€“ 12 = 58 years
