Question

Read the question below:
What is the average age of Aman, Boman and Chaman?
Read the statement given below:
The age of Aman, Boman and Chaman are in the ratio 6 : 5 : 3 respectively.
Which of the below information is additionally required to answer the above question?

A.

The age of Boman is greater than the average age of three people.

B.

The difference in the age of Boman and Chaman is twice the difference in the age of Aman and Boman.

C.

The age of Aman is twice the age of Chaman.

D.

On the first birthday of Chaman, Aman was 9 years older than Boman

Correct option is D

​​Given:
Their ages are in the ratio 6 : 5 : 3
Aman = 6x, Boman = 5x, Chaman = 3x
 Now evaluate each option to see which gives us a specific value of x:
Option A:
The age of Boman is greater than the average age of three people.
 5x > 6x + 5x + 3x /3
but it doesn’t give a specific value of x
Option B:
The difference in the age of Boman and Chaman is twice the difference in the age of Aman and Boman.
(5x - 3x) = 2 × (6x - 5x)
2x = 2 × 1x → 2x = 2x 
Still doesn’t give a specific value of x
Option C:
The age of Aman is twice the age of Chaman.
Aman = 6x
Chaman = 3x
→ 6x = 2 × 3x → 6x = 6x 
Still doesn’t give a specific value of x
Option D: On the first birthday of Chaman, Aman was 9 years older than Boman
Aman = 6x - (3x - 1) = 3x + 1
Boman = 5x - (3x - 1) = 2x + 1
Now apply the given condition:
Aman was 9 years older than Boman
→ (3x + 1) = (2x + 1) + 9
→ 3x + 1 = 2x + 10
→ x = 9 
Now we can find actual ages and their average:
Aman = 6x = 54, Boman = 5x = 45, Chaman = 3x = 27
Average = (54 + 45 + 27) / 3 = 126 / 3 = 42 (Follow)
Thus, the correct option is: (d)
