    C 45 years. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 47 years. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Sum of ages of A, B and C = 30 × 3 = 90 years Sum of ages of B, A and D = 20 × 3 = 60 years So, C – D = 90 – 60 = 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.
