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
