    Question

    If the age of Ratan is one-third the age of Jatin and the sum of their ages is 84 years, then find the age of Jatin.

    A.

    36 years

    B.

    25 years

    C.

    63 years

    D.

    32 years

    Correct option is C

    ​Given:

    Ratan is one-third of Jatin

    The sum of their ages is 84 years

    Solution:

    Let the age of Jatin be 3x year

    As Ratan is one-third of Jatin

    Age of Ratan = x year

    => Sum of their ages = 84

    => 3x + x = 84

    => 4x = 84

    => x = 21 year

    => Age of Jatin = 3x = 3 ×\times​ 21 = 63 year

    Hence, The age of Jatin is 63 years.
