Answer 1

Answer:

SOLUTION

TO CHOOSE THE CORRECT OPTION

A's present age in years is 20% of B's age. After 30 years, A's age will be 1/2 of B's. The sum of the present ages of A and B is

A) 40 years

B) 60 years

C) 80 years

D) 100 years

EVALUATION

Here it is given that A's present age in years is 20% of B's age

Let present age of B is 100x

Then present age of A is 20x

Now after 30 years the ages of A and B will be 20x + 30 years and 100x + 30 respectively

So by the given condition

\displaystyle \sf{20x + 30 = \frac{100x + 30}{2} }20x+30=

2

100x+30

\displaystyle \sf{ \implies \: 40x + 60 = 100x + 30 }⟹40x+60=100x+30

\displaystyle \sf{ \implies \:60x = 30 }⟹60x=30

Now the sum of the present ages of A and B

= 20x + 100x

= 120x

= 2 × 60x

= 2 × 30 years

= 60 years

FINAL ANSWER

Hence the correct option is

B) 60 years
