Read Solution (Total 1)
-
- Paddy ------- Jimmy ------ I
x ----- 40 ------ N >> when Paddy took to drink
4x/3 ------ 40+(x/3) ---- M >>Now
(N/2)+2= 40+(x/3) => N = 76+(2x/3)
M= 76+(2x/3)+(x/3)=76+x
So total age=(4x/3) + 40 +(x/3) +76+x=1200
=> 8x/3= 1200-116=1084
x= 406.5
Jimmy is now= 40+135,5=175.5 months
