Question

A is 5 years elder than b who is now 4 times as old as

c. c is now 7 years old. what was a's age when c was born?

Answer 1

a would be 26 yrs when c was born

Answer 2

Let the age of A be X.

Then, age of B = X-5

C’s age = 7

B’s Age = 4 times as C

i.e., X – 5 = 4 x 7

X = 33.

Hence, A’s age when C was born = 33 – 7 = 26.
