  • Options
  • A. 10 years
  • B. 8 years
  • C. 4 years
  • D. None of these

  • Correct Answer

    Explanation

    Let us assume the age of youngest child be P years.
    Then according to question,
    The age of 5 children born after every 3 years will be P , P + 3,
    P + 6, P + 9, P + 12.
    Now as we know from the given question

    P + (P + 3) + (P + 6) + (P + 9) + (P + 12) = 50
