      E 25 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let, present age of β€˜A’, β€˜B’ and β€˜C’ be 16x years, 25x years and m years respectively. So, √25x:√m = 5:6 Or, 25x/m = 25/36 Or, m = 36x ----(i) Again, (16x + 10):(m + 10) = 1:2 Or, 32x + 20 = m + 10 Or, m – 32x = 10 Or, 36x – 32x = 10 [from (i)] Or, 4x = 10 Or, x = 2.5 Present age of β€˜C’ = 36 Γ— 2.5 = 90 years.Β
