      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
