    The ages of A, B and C together are 63 years. B is

    thrice as old as A and C is 8 years older than A. What is the difference between ages of B and C?
    A 12 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    D 15 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 16 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let A’s age be x years. B’s age = 3x and C’s age = (8 + x) According to question, => x + 3x + (8 + x) = 63 => 5x = 55 => x = 11 B’s age = 3x = 33 years C’s age = 8 + x = 19 years Difference between the ages of B and C = 33 – 19 = 14 years
