Five years ago, A was 5 years older than B. Six years from now, B will be 7 years older than C. Eight years from now, C will be 7 years older than D. If D is 50 years old now, what is the present age of A?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 69 years
The difference between two people’s ages never changes, so each gap holds today as well, whatever year it was stated for.
C is 7 years older than D: C \(=50+7=57\) years
B is 7 years older than C: B \(=57+7=64\) years
A is 5 years older than B: A \(=64+5=69\) years
