Read Solution (Total 9)
-
- let age of grandfather be x and the ages of the grandsons are y1,y2,y3 respectively
x= y1+y2+y3 where y2= y1-2 and y3 =y2 -2 =y1 -4
x=3y1 - 6= 3(y1-2)
x= 3y2
so age of grand father is three times the age of second grandson

- Let the age of the grandfather is p and age of the grandsons are x,y,z respectively.
p=x+y+z
y=x-2
z=y-2=x-4
p=x+x-2+x-4=3x-6
=3(x-2)
=3y
So age of the grandfather is three times than the age of the 2nd grandson. - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(6) No(0)
- g.f=x + y + z
=x +(x-2)+(x-4)
=3x-6
age of grandfather =3x-6 where x=age of first son - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(0)

- consider second g.son=x then first g.son=x+2,third g.son=x-2
then x+2+x+x-2=3x
ths the answer is grandfather is 3 times as older as his second grandson - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
- grand father's age is thrice of second one

- 1ST SON = X
2ND SON = X-2
3RD SON = X-2-2 = X-4
GRANDFATHER = X+X-2+X-4
= 3X-6
=3(X-2)
= 3 * 2ND SON'S AGE

- x=a+b+c
c=b-2
b=a-2
a=random 30
X=30+(30-2)+((30-2)-2)
X=84 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(5)
- grandfather =60 ,g1=18,g2=20,g3=22
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(3)
