A is three times as old as B. C was twice-as old as A four years ago. In four years' time, A will be 31. What are the present ages of B and C ?
  • 19, 46
  • 29, 50
  • 310, 46
  • 410, 50
Answer:- 1
Explanation:-

Solution:
We have : A = 3B ...(i) and
C - 4 = 2 (A - 4) ...(ii)
Also, A + 4 = 31 or A= 31-4 = 27.
Putting A = 27 in (i), we get: B = 9.
Putting A = 27 in (ii), we get C = 50.
