  • Question
  • The ages of A, B and C together total 185 years. B is twice as old as A, and C is 17 years older than A. Then the respective ages of A, B and C are?


  • Options
  • A. 40, 86 and 59 years
  • B. 42, 84 and 59 years
  • C. 40, 80 and 65 years
  • D. None of these

  • Correct Answer
  • 42, 84 and 59 years 

    Explanation

    Let A's age be x years, B's age be 2x years and C's age = (x + 17) years

    According to the question,
    ? x + 2x + (x + 17) = 185
    ? 4x = 185 - 17 = 168
    ? x = 42
    ? A's age = 42 years
    B's age 84 years
    C's age = 42 + 17 = 59 years
