Four years ago, the average ages of 5 persons A, B, C, D and E is a prime number. If A’s age is 50% of the age of C and after 12 years the ratio of the ages of B to D is 3:2, then find the present age of E.

Given : Four years ago, the average ages of 5 persons A, B, C, D and E is a prime number. If A’s age is 50% of the age of C and after 12 years the ratio of the ages of B to D is 3:2.
To find : let present age of A = x, 4 years ago, A = x - 4
present age of B = y , 4 years ago, B = y - 4
present age of C = z, 4 years ago, C = z - 4
present age of D = w, 4 years ago, D = w - 4
present age of E = r , 4 years ago, E = r - 4
now average ages = (A + B + C + D + E)/5
⇒n = (x + y + z + w + r - 20)/5 = (x + y + z + w + r)/5 - 4
⇒(x + y + z + w + r) = 5(n + 4).....(1)
A's age is 50% of age of C
i.e., A/C = 1/2
so x/z = 1/2 ⇒z = 2x .........(2)
after 12 years, B/D = 3/2
⇒(y + 12)/(w + 12) = 3/2
⇒2y + 24 = 3w + 36
⇒2y = 3w + 12
⇒y = 1.5w + 6 ........(3)
here there are six variables and we have just three equations so it can't possible to find out the present age of E.
Therefore the present age of E can't be determined.
