Question:

A is thrice as old as B . 7 years ago A was four times as old as B . Find the present age of A.

Options:

63

56

49

66

Correct Answer:

63

Explanation:

Let age of  A 7 years ago = 4x and age of B 7 years ago = x 

Now , according to question 

\(\frac{4x+ 7}{x+7}\) = \(\frac{3}{1}\)

4x  + 7 = 3x + 21

x = 14

so,       

A's Present age = 4 x 14 + 7 = 63
