Question

the average age of Mahaveer shlok and heramb and after 3 years is 33 the ratio of their ages before 3 year is 2 : 3 : 4 what is the age of heramb who is the eldest​

Answer 1

Answer:

39 years

Step-by-step explanation:

average age of all = 33

so the total sum of ages = 33*3 = 99

sum of ages after 3yrs = 99

if we go to 6 yrs back then we are in before 3yrs

then gap is 6yrs

so, the sum of ages of 3 persons = 6*3 = 18yrs

sum of ages before 3yrs = 99 - 18 = 81 yrs

the ratio of ages before 3yrs = 2:3:4

Then,

we can say that the ages are 2x , 3x and 4x

sum of ages = 81yrs

So,

2x + 3x + 4x = 81

9x = 81

x = 81/9

x = 9

then the ages before 3yrs =

2x = 2*9 = 18

3x = 3*9 = 27

4x = 4*9 = 36

Before 3yrs the eldest son heramb age is 36 years

Hence , the present age of heramb is 36 + 3 = 39 years
