Let the present ages of ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’ be ‘5x’ years, ‘11x’ years and ‘13x’ years, respectively. ATQ; (13x + 5x) ÷ 2 = 36 Or, 18x = 72 So, x = 4 So, present age of ‘C’ = 13 × 4 = 52 years Present age of ‘B’ = 11 × 4 = 44 years Difference between the ages of ‘B’ and ‘C’ = 52 – 44 = 8 years So, age of ‘B’ when ‘C’ was 27 years old = 27 – 8 = 19 years
