Answer 1

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Priya at the end of 2008 be x

the age of grandfather at the end of 2008 be 3x

Now,

The year in which priya born = (2008 - x)

The year in which grandfather born = (2008 - 3x)

So,

3928 = (2008- x) + (2008 - 3x)

3928 = 4016 - 4x

-4x = 3928 - 4016

-4x = -88

x = 22

Age of priya at the end of 2015 = (2015-2008)+22

= 7 + 22

. .. = 29

Hence, the age of priya at the end of 2015 will be 29.
