    Present age of β€˜A’ is 25% more than that of β€˜B’.

    If 14 years hence from now, β€˜B’ will be 13 years younger than β€˜A’, then find the sum of present ages of β€˜A’ and β€˜B’.
    A 107 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 127 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 117 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 137 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let present age of β€˜B’ be β€˜x’ years Present age of β€˜A’ = x Γ— 1.25 = β€˜1.25x’ years ATQ; (x + 14) + 13 = (1.25x + 14) Or, x + 27 = 1.25x + 14 Or, 13 = 0.25x Or, x = 52 So, present age of β€˜B’ = 52 years And, present age of β€˜A’ = 52 + 13 = 65 years Required sum = 52 + 65 = 117 years
