    The average age of A, B and C is 40 years, while the

    D 47 years. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Sum of ages of A, B and C = 40 Γ— 3 = 120 years Sum of ages of B, A and D = 30 Γ— 3 = 90 years So, C – D = 120 – 90 = 30 years Let the age of C and D be 5x and 3x years, respectively. 5x – 3x = 30 2x = 30 x = 15 So, age of D = 3x = 45 years.
