Question

Jayesh is twice as old as vijay and half as old as suresh. If the sum of suresh's and vijay's ages is 85 years, what is jayesh's age in years? Select one:

Answer 1

Answer: Jayesh is 34 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Jayesh be X years old

Then Vijay will be X/2 years old and Suresh will be 2X years old

According to the question,

2X + X/2 = 85 (sum of Vijay and Suresh’s ages)

=> 4X + X = 85*2

=> 5X = 170

=> X = 34

Therefore Jayesh is 34 years old
