✨Here’s your answer✨
Option “d,54 years” is the correct answer
Let Gerald's age = 54 years.
Let Lucy’s age = x years.
Let Polly’s age = y years.
ATQ;
Gerald’s age = 3x ,
Gerald’s age = y + 14
This implies Lucy's age = 18 years and Polly's age = 40 years
After 4 years:
Polly's age = 40 + 4 = 44 years
Lucy's age = 18 + 4 = 22 years,
which is one-half of Polly's age. Therefore, Gerald age is 54 years.
