Question
Anil is as much younger to Vivek as he is older to Tarun. If the total of the ages of Vivek and Tarun is 48 years, how old is Anil?
Options: 18, 24, 26, 33
Solution
Let's solve this step by step:
-
Let's denote Anil's age as A, Vivek's age as V, and Tarun's age as T.
-
According to the problem, Anil is as much younger to Vivek as he is older to Tarun. This means that V - A = A - T.
-
We also know that the total of the ages of Vivek and Tarun is 48 years. So, V + T = 48.
-
We can substitute the value of V from the first equation (V = A + A - T) into the second equation. So, 2A - T + T = 48, which simplifies to 2A = 48.
-
Therefore, Anil's age A = 48 / 2 = 24 years.
So, Anil is 24 years old.
