Question 20

Present age of Saksham is one third of his father's present age. 5 years ago Saksham's father's age was half the age of Saksham's grandfather. If Saksham's grandfather will celebrate his 88th birthday after 3 years, then what is the present age (in years) of Saksham?

Solution

Saksham's grandfather's present age = $$88-3=85$$ years

Saksham's grandfather's age 5 years ago = 80 years

=> Saksham's father's age 5 years ago = $$\frac{80}{2}=40$$ years

Thus, Saksham's father's present age = $$40+5=45$$ years

$$\therefore$$ Present age (in years) of Saksham = $$\frac{45}{3}=15$$ years

=> Ans - (B)
