    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let ages of ‘Arjuna’ and ‘Bheem’, after 12 years will be ‘8x’ years and ‘7x’ years respectively. Let present age of ‘Charu’ is ‘z’ years. So, (8x – 12 + z) = 30 × 2 Or, z = 72 – 8x And, 7x – 12 = 1.25 × z = 1.25 × (72 – 8x) Or, 7x – 12 = 90 – 10x Or, 17x = 102 Or, x = 6 Present age of ‘Arjuna’ = 8 × 6 – 12 = 36 years Present age of ‘Bheem’ = 7 × 6 – 12 = 30 years Present age of ‘Charu’ = 72 – 8 × 6 = 24 years Desired ratio = 36:24:30 = 6:4:5
