    B 24 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 26 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 20 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the current ages of X, Y, and Z be x, y, and z years, respectively. (x+y+z)/3=25 x + y + z = 25×3 x+y+z=75 30+y+z = 75 y+z = 45…...(i) (30-z) + (y-z) = 2×19.5 30+y-2z = 39 y-2z = 9…...(ii) subtract both the above equation we get, 3z = 36 z = 12 years age of Z after 8 years = 12+8 = 20 years
