Golu and kaku are brothers. Sum of their ages is equal to 1/3 of the age of their mother.The difference of ages of the 2 brothers is 4 years and the sum of ages of their mother and father is 66, then possible no. of ages of mother will be
Given that the age of father is more than the age of mother and at the time of marriage age of mother was 25

OPtion

1) 1
2) 2
3) 3
4) 4
5) 5
6) 6
7) 7
8) 8
9) 9
10) none of these

Solution

according to the given condition
k+g = m/3,
g-k = 4
f+m = 66
and f>m
on solving these conditions we will get
m = 3(2k+4) and f+m = 66
on putting k = 1, m = 18
k = 2, m = 24
k = 3, m = 30
k = 4, m = 36
only m = 30 and k = 3 may be a possible case but if k = 3 so g = 7 and age of marriage = 25 so data are inappropriate
so no solution is acceptable
