Question
Twelve years from now, the combined ages of A and B
will be 94 years. Eight years ago, the ratio of the total of A and B's ages to the age of C was 3:2. Find the current age of C.Solution
Let present age of A, B and C is ‘x’ years, ‘y’ years and ‘z’ years. So, x + 12 + y + 12 = 94 So, x + y = 70 Sum of ages of A and C 8 years ago = 70 – 8 × 2 = 54 years Age of C, 8 years ago = 54/3 × 2 = 36 years Present age of C = 36 + 8 = 44 years
