      Question

      The average of the current ages

      of 'Anoop', 'Bhanu', and 'Rakesh' is 40 years. Their ages are in arithmetic progression (AP), with 'Anoop' being the youngest and 'Rakesh' the oldest. Determine the ratio of the ages of 'Bhanu' and 'Dinesh', 8 years from now, given that 'Dinesh' is currently 24 years old.
      A 1:5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 2:5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 3:2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 2:1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      If 3 (odd) numbers are in AP then middle term will be its average. As ‘Anoop’ is youngest and ‘Rakesh’ is eldest among them So ‘Bhanu’ will be in middle So, age of ‘Bhanu’ = 40 years Required ratio = (40 + 8) : (24 + 8) = 48:32 = 3:2
