Question

    In the following question, two quantities – Quantity I

    and Quantity II – are provided. You are required to calculate both quantities and compare them. Based on the comparison, choose the correct option from the ones given below.Quantity I: The average present age of Aman, Bittu, and Charu is 19 years. Three years ago, the sum of Aman and Bittu's ages was 34 years. What will be Charu’s age four years from now?Quantity II: 22 years
    A Quantity I > Quantity II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Quantity I < Quantity II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Quantity I ≤ Quantity II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Quantity I ≥ Quantity II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Quantity I = Quantity II or the relationship cannot be determined Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Quantity I:

    Sum of present ages of 'Aman’ and 'Bittu' = 34 + 2 X 3 = 34 + 6 = 40 years

    Present age of 'Charu' = 3 X 19 - 40 = 17 years

    So, age of 'Charu' 4 years hence from now = 17 + 4 = 21 years

    So, Quantity I = 21 years

    Quantity II:

    Quantity II = 22 years

    Therefore, Quantity-I < Quantity-II
