The sum of the ages of A, B and C is 93 years, 10 years ago, the ratio of their ages was 2 : 3 : 4. What is the present age of B ? |
21 years 28 years 31 years 38 years |
31 years |
Sum of Present age of A, B and C = 93 **Ten years ago age of every person was 10 years less than present age.** Therefore, Sum of age of A, B and C ten years ago was = 93 - 3(10) = 93 - 30 = 63 Ratio of age of A, B and C ten years ago is = 2 : 3 : 4 = 9 (Total) 9R = 63 1R = 7 B's age ten years ago = 3R = 3 × 7 = 21 B's present age = 21 + 10 = 31 years |
