    Present ages of β€˜A’, β€˜B’ and β€˜C’ are in the

    ratio 5:11:13, respectively. If present average age of β€˜A’ and β€˜C’ is 36 years, then find the age of β€˜B’ when β€˜C’ was 27 years old?
    A 10 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 18 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 19 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 15 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

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