    D 33.43 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    The ratio of A and B's ages after 8 years is 4:5, so we get the equation 5(A+8)=4(B+8), which simplifies to 5AтИТ4B=тИТ8. The ratio of A and C's ages 6 years ago is 3:4, giving us the equation 4(AтИТ6)=3(CтИТ6), which simplifies to 4AтИТ3C=6. The average age of A and C is 30, so A+C=60. Solving the system of equations, we substitute A = 60 тИТ C into the second equation and solve to get C=33.43. Thus, the present age of C is approximately 33.43 years.
