Question:

Three years ago, the average age of Anita, Priya, and Varsha was 27 years. If five years ago, the average age of Priya and Varsha was 20 years, find the present age of Anita.

 

Options:

30

40

60

25

Correct Answer:

40

Explanation:

Sum of age of Anita, Priya and Varsha (3 years ago) = 27 x 3 = 81

Sum of age of Anita, Priya and Varsha (Present) = 81 + 9 = 90

Sum of age of Priya and Varsha (5 years ago) = 20 x 2 = 40

Sum of age of Priya and Varsha (Present) = 40 + 10 = 50

Present age of Anita = Sum of age of Anita, Priya and Varsha (present) - Sum of age of Priya and Varsha (present)

Present age of Anita = 90 - 50 = 40
