  • Options
  • A. 6
  • B. 8
  • C. 10
  • D. 4

  • Correct Answer


  • Explanation

    Suppose the present age of B = P years
    The present age of A - The present age of B = 2 years.
    Therefore, the present age of A = P + 2 years
    According to question,
    Two years ago , 2( the present age of B - 2 years ) = the present age of A - 2 years
    2 (P ? 2) = P + 2 ? 2
    ? 2P ? 4 = P
    ? 2P ? P = 4
    ? P = 4
    Age of B = 4 years
    Age of A = P + 2 = 4 + 2 = 6 years
