Question

The average age of 4 persons is 42 years. If their ages are in the ratio of 1 : 3 : 4 : 6 respectively, find out the difference between the ages of the eldest and the youngest person.

A.

61 years

B.

60 years

C.

59 years

D.

70 years

Correct option is B

Solution:

Sum of age of 4 persons = 42 × 4 = 168

Ratio of age of four persons = 1 : 3 : 4 : 6

=> 1 + 3 + 4 + 6 = 14 unit

=> 14 unit = 168

=> 1 unit = 12

Difference between youngest and eldest = 6 – 1 = 5

=> 5 unit = 5 × 12 = 60 years
