Question

The king is three times as old as the queen.The queen is as old as the king was.When the Queen's age reaches Kong's current age,the sum of their ages will be eighty four.What is their current age?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the Queen's age be x.

Therefore, the King's age will be 3x.

The sum of their ages is 84.

Therefore, according to the problem

x + 3x = 84

or, 4x = 84

or, x = 84/4

or, x = 21

Now, it is clear that the Queen is 21 years old.

Hence, the King is (21×3)= 63 years old.
