Age Problem
The ages of Anshu, Bharti and Charita together are 57 years. Bharti is thrice as old as Anshu and Charita is 12 years older than Anshu. Then, the respective age of Anshu, Bharti and Charita is:
1) 8, 26, 23 (years)
2) 9, 27, 21 (years)
3) 8, 25, 24 (years)
4) 9, 26, 22 (years)
5) 9, 28, 20 (years)
Read Solution (Total 6)
-
- Let Anshu age = X
Charita 12 yrs older than Anshu so Charita age = x+12
Bharati is thrice as old as anshu so Bhatati age = 3x
The ages of Anshu, Bharti and Charita together are 57 years
i.e,, x+(x+12)+3x = 57
=> 5x = 45
:- x = 9
Anshu age = 9
Bharati age = 3x = 27
Charita age = x+12 = 21

- let the age of Anshu be x years..that of Bharti be 3x years..nd charitas age will be x+12..so total sum of their ages will be= x+3x+x+12=57
so, 5x+12=57, so,x=9years..so the respective ages are:- A=9yrs,B=27yrs,c=21yrs..so option 2
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- 2) 9, 27, 21 (years)
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- let B age x than
3x + x x+12 = 57
by solving
A=27
B=9
c=21
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- 2) 9, 27, 21 (years)
9, 27, 21 (years) - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- x+y+z=57----(1)
y=3x-----(2)
z=x+12------(3)
substituting (2) and (3) in (1)
x+3x+x+12=57
5x+12=57
x=45/5=9
y=3x=3(9)=27
z=x+12=9+12=21
So,
option 2(9,27,21) - 4 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
