    Question

    If the average age of A, B and C is 22 years and the average age of B and C is 25 years, then find A's age after 9 years.

    A.

    35 years

    B.

    25 years

    C.

    45 years

    D.

    50 years

    Correct option is B

    Given:

    The average age of A, B, and C is 22 years.

    The average age of B and C is 25 years.

    Concept Used:

    Average age = Sum of agesNumber of people\frac{\text{Sum of ages}}{\text{Number of people}}

    Solution:

    A+B+C3=22 A\frac{A + B + C}{3} = 22 \implies A​ + B + C = 66

    Average age of B and C:

    B+C2=25 \frac{B + C}{2} = 25 \implies​ B + C = 50

    Find A's age:

    A + B + C - (B + C) = 66 - 50

    A = 16

    A's age after 9 years

    16 + 9 = 25
