The average age of A and B is 25 years. If A is to be replaced by C, the average would be 22 years. The average age of C and A is 19 years. The ages of A, B and C in order (in years) are: |
22 , 24 , 16 22 , 28 , 16 22 , 28 , 19 20 , 28 , 16 |
22 , 28 , 16 |
Average age of A and B is 25 years A + B = 50 years ----- ( 1) The average age of C and A is 19 years C + A = 38 years ------ ( 2) if A is replaced by C . then , average of B and C is 22 years. B + C = 44 years ------ ( 3 ) adding equation, 1 + 2 + 3 A+ B + C = 66 years ( A + B + C ) - ( A + B ) = 66 - 50 C= 16 years ( A + B + C ) - ( B + C ) = 66 - 44 A = 22 years ( A + B + C ) - ( A + C ) = 66 - 38 B = 28 years so the age of A , B and C is 22 , 28 , 16 years respectively . |
