Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 24
THE LOGIC FOLLOWED HERE IS
ACC TO THWE QUESTION
B : C = 2 : 1
OR 2X : X
AGE OF A = B - 3 OR 2X - 3
ACC. TO THE QUESTION
A + B + C = 52
B - 3 + 2X + X = 52
2X - 3 + 2X + X = 52
5X - 3 = 52
5X = 55
X = 11
C = 11 YEARS
B = 22 YAERS
A = 22 - 3 = 19 YEARS
THEREFORE B AGE AFTER 2 YEARS
B = 22 +2 = 24 YEARS
