      Question

      Present ages of 'A' and 'B' are in the ratio 6:5,

      respectively. Present age of 'C' is 50% more than 'B'. If the difference between present ages of 'C' and 'A' is 12 years, then find the present age of 'B'.
      A 30 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 36 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 40 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 45 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 32 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the present age of 'A' be '6x' years So, present age of 'B' = 6x × (5/6) = '5x' years So, present age of 'C' = 5x × 1.5 = '7.5x' years ATQ; 7.5x - 6x = 12 Or, 1.5x = 12 So, x = 8 So, present age of 'B' = 5x = 8 × 5 = 40 years
