  • Question
  • A says to B "I am twice as old as you were when I was as old as you are." The sum of their ages is 63 years. Find the difference of their ages?


  • Options
  • A. 27 years
  • B. 12 years
  • C. 9 years
  • D. 6 years

  • Correct Answer
  • 9 years 

    Explanation

    Let the present age of A is x and present age of B is y.
    Therefore, x + y = 63 ....(i)
    Difference of their ages is = (x - y) years.

    When A was as old as B then, A's age was 'y; years and B's age was [y - (x - y)] = (2y - x) years.

    Given that present age of A is twice the past age of B.
    ? x = 2(2y - x)
    ? 3x = 4y .....(ii)

    From (i) and (ii)
    x = 36 and y = 27

    So the difference in age of A and B is 36 - 27 = 9 years.
