      Question

      Present age of β€˜C’ is 20% more than that of β€˜D’.

      3 years ago, β€˜C’ was 1.4 times as old as β€˜D’. Find the present age of β€˜D’.
      A 3 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 5 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 6 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 8 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the present age of β€˜D’ be β€˜x’ years
      Therefore, present age of β€˜C’ = 1.2x years
      ATQ;
      (1.2x – 3) = 1.4 Γ— (x – 3)
      Or, 1.2x – 3 = 1.4x – 4.2
      Or, 1.2 = 0.2x
      Or, x = 6
      Therefore, present age of β€˜D’ = 6 years
