    Question

    A is now 9 years older than B. In 10 years, A will be twice as old as B was 10 years ago. Find the present age of A.

    A.

    39

    B.

    23

    C.

    36

    D.

    48

    Correct option is D

    Given:
    A is 9 years older than B.
    In 10 years, A will be twice as old as B was 10 years ago.
    Solution:
    Let the present age of B be x. Then A = x + 9.
    In 10 years, A will be (x + 9 + 10) = x + 19 years.
    B was x - 10 years old, 10 years ago.
    Given, A's age in 10 years = 2 * (B's age 10 years ago).
    => x + 19 = 2 * (x - 10).
    => x + 19 = 2x - 20.
    => x = 39.
    Thus, A's present age = x + 9 = 48 years.
