    If 14 years hence from now, тАШBтАЩ will be 8 years younger than тАШAтАЩ, then find the sum of present ages of тАШAтАЩ and тАШBтАЩ.

    B 42 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 43 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 47 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let present age of тАШBтАЩ be тАШxтАЩ years Present age of тАШAтАЩ = x ├Ч 1.40 = тАШ1.40xтАЩ years ATQ; (x + 14) + 8 = (1.40x + 14) Or, x + 22 = 1.40x + 14 Or, 8 = 0.40x Or, x = 20 So, present age of тАШBтАЩ = 20 years And, present age of тАШAтАЩ = 20 + 8 = 28 years Required sum = 20 + 28 = 48 years
