Question 11

Anil is as much younger to Vivek as he is older to Tarun. If the total of the ages of Vivek and Tarun is 48 years, how old is Anil?

Solution

Let Anil's age = $$x$$ years

Let Anil is $$n$$ years elder than Tarun and $$n$$ years younger than Vivek.

=> Tarun's age = $$(x-n)$$ years

and Vivek's age = $$(x+n)$$ years

Sum of ages of Vivek and Tarun = $$(x-n)+(x+n)=48$$

=> $$2x=48$$

=> $$x=\frac{48}{2}=24$$ years

=> Ans - (C)
