    Question

    The average age of Raj and his father is 45 years. If the ages of the father and the grandfather of Raj are respectively two and three times that of Raj, then the age of Raj's grandfather is

    A.

    75 years

    B.

    90 years

    C.

    81 years

    D.

    84 years

    Correct option is B

    Given:
    Average age of Raj and his father = 45 years

    => Sum of their ages = 45 × 2 = 90 years

    Father's age = 2 × Raj's age

    Grandfather's age = 3 × Raj's age

    Formula Used:
    Average = (Sum of ages) ÷ Number of people


    Father's age = 2 × Raj's age

    Grandfather's age = 3 × Raj's age

    Solution:
    Let Raj's age be x.
    Then Father's age = 2x

    Now,
    x + 2x = 90
    => 3x = 90
    => x = 30 (Raj's age)

    Now,
    Grandfather’s age = 3 × x = 3 × 30 = 90 years

    Ans. (b) 90 years
