    'M' is 60 years old. 'R' is 5 years junior to 'M' and 4 years senior to ‘V’. The youngest brother of 'V' is 'B' and he is 6 years junior to ‘V’. What is the age difference between ‘M' and B'?

    A 18 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 15 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 13 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 11 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    According to the question, M - R = 5 years ⇒ 60 - R = 5 ⇒ R = 60 - 5 ⇒ R = 55 years Now, according to the question, R - V = 4 years ⇒ 55 - V = 4 ⇒ V = 55 - 4 V - B = 6 years ⇒ 51 - B = 6 ⇒ B = 51 - 6 ⇒ B = 45 years Now, the age difference between M and B, M - B = 60 - 45 ⇒ 15 years ∴ The age difference between M and B is 15 years.
