    E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Sum of the current ages of Sam, Sarah, and Seth = 3 ├Ч 32 = 96 years. Sum of the current ages of Sam and Sarah = 2 ├Ч 36 = 72 years. Current age of Seth = 96 - 72 = 24 years. Sam's current age, given Seth's age is 25% less: Sam's age = 24/0.75 = 32 yrs Therefore: Sarah's age = 72-32 = 40 yrs Sarah's age after eight years = 40 + 8 = 48 years.
