    Question

    B is 5 years older than A and A is 8 years older than C.

    If the sum of the age of A and C is 24 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 41 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 45 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let C’s present age be x years.  So, A’s present age = (x + 8) years  And B’s present age = (x + 8 + 5) = (x + 13) years  According to question, => x + 8 + x = 24  => 2x = 16 => x = 8 Required total sum = x + (x + 8) + (x + 13) = 3x + 21 = 45 years
