Four person A, B, C and D. The sum of their present age is 176. Four years ago ratio of their age was 11: 9 : 6 : 14, then find who is eldest and youngest among them ?

Correct Answer: D is eldest & C is youngest

Explanation:

Given sum of present ages of A, B, C & D


A + B + C + D = 176


and also given that,


(A-4) : (B-4) : (C-4) : (D-4) = 11 : 9 : 6 : 14


Let the ratio = x


=> A-4 + B-4 + C-4 + D-4 = 11x + 9x + 6x + 14x


=> (A + B + C + D ) - 16 = 40x


=> 176 - 16 = 40x


=> x = 4


=> A = 44 + 4 = 48


=> B = 40


=> C = 28


=> D = 60


Therefore, from the above conclusions


D is eldest with 60 years and C is youngest with 28 years of ages.
