Question: 7

Five years ago, the average age of P and Q was 15 years. Average age of P, Q and R today is 20 years. How old will R be after 10 years?

(A) 30 years

(B) 35 years

(C) 40 years

(D) 50 years

Ans: A

(P + Q), five years ago = 15 × 2 = 30 years.

(P + Q), now = (30 + 5 × 2) years = 40 years

(P + Q + R), now = (20 × 3) years = 60 years

∴ R, now = (60 – 40) = 20 years

R, after 10 years = (20 + 10) years = 30 years

Ans: A

Total age of 25 boys = 16 × 25 = 400 years.

∴ Age of two teachers = 459 – 400 = 59 years.
