    Question

    B is 2 years older than A and A is 5 years older than C.

    If the sum of the age of A and C is 25 years, then find the sum of the ages of all three. 
    A 40 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 42 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 37 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 45 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let C’s present age be x years.  So, A’s present age = (x + 5) years  And B’s present age = (x + 5 + 2) = (x + 7) years  According to question, => x + 5 + x = 25  => 2x = 20 => x = 10 Required total sum = x + (x + 5) + (x + 7) = 3x + 12 = 42 years
