Let the ages of A and B be 2x and 3x years respectively.
From question, (2x + 5) / (3x + 5) = 3 / 4
? 4(2x + 5) = 3(3x + 5)
? x = 5
&ther4; A's present age = 2x = 10 years
In the given series 1 4 9 16 22 36
1 = 1 x 1
4 = 2 x 2
9 = 3 x 3
16 = 4 x 4
25 = 5 x 5 (Not 22)
36 = 6 x 6
Hence, the odd man in the series is 22.
The given number series follows a pattern that
5 x 5 ? 1 = 24
24 x 4 ? 2 = 94
94 x 3 ? 3 = 279
279 x 2 ? 4 = 554
