Question 36

The sum of ages of 4 children born at intervals of 4 years each is 60. What is the age of the youngest child?

Solution

Let ages of the 4 children be $$(x),(x+4),(x+8),(x+12)$$ years

Sum of ages = $$(x)+(x+4)+(x+8)+(x+12)=60$$

=> $$4x+24=60$$

=> $$4x=60-24=36$$

=> $$x=\frac{36}{4}=9$$

$$\therefore$$ Age of youngest child = $$x=9$$ years

=> Ans - (B)
