Question 150

Jayesh is twice as old as Vijay and half as old as Suresh .If sum of Suresh’s and Vijay’s age is 85 years what is the Jayesh’s age in years?

Solution

Let Vijay's age = $$x$$ years

=> Jayesh's age = $$2x$$ years and Suresh's age = $$4x$$ years

Sum of Suresh's and Vijay's ages = $$(4x+x)=85$$

=> $$x=\frac{85}{5}=17$$

$$\therefore$$ Jayesh's age = $$2x=2 \times 17=34$$ years

=> Ans - (A)
