    ratio 10:12:15, respectively. If present average age of β€˜A’ and β€˜C’ is 50 years, then find the age of β€˜B’ when β€˜C’ was 24 years old?
    A 10 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 12 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 16 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 14 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the present ages of β€˜A’, β€˜B’ and β€˜C’ be β€˜10x’ years, β€˜12x’ years and β€˜15x’ years, respectively. ATQ; (15x + 10x) Γ· 2 = 50 Or, 25x = 100 So, x = 4 So, present age of β€˜C’ = 15 Γ— 4 = 60 years Present age of β€˜B’ = 12 Γ— 4 = 48 years Difference between the ages of β€˜B’ and β€˜C’ = 60 – 48 = 12 years So, age of β€˜B’ when β€˜C’ was 24 years old = 24 – 12 = 12 years
