      times his present age. The ratio of age of Y, 4 years ago to the age of Z, 6 years hence is 1:3. Find the age of Y, if the age of Z is 50% more than the age of X.
      A 12 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      C 8 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 15 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the present age of X, Y and Z be β€˜x’, β€˜y’ and β€˜z’ years respectively. x – 2 = 1.5 Γ— x – 12 0.5 Γ— x = 10 x = 10/0.5 x = 20 years So, age of z = 20 Γ— 1.5 = 30 years Also, (y – 4)/(z + 6) = 1/3 y – 4 = (1/3) Γ— 36 y = 12 + 4 = 16 years
