‘B’ is 3 years older than ‘A’ and ‘B’ is also 3 years younger than ‘C’. 3 years hence, the respective ratio between the ages of A and C will be 4 : 5 What is the sum of the present ages of A. B and C ?
Let the preset ages of A,B,C be a,b,c respectively.
Given that,
b = 3+a
Thus a= b-3
b= c-3
Thus c = b+3
a+3/c+3 = 4/5
b/b+6 =4/5
Thus b= 24
a= 21
c= 27
Thus sum of ages = a+b+c= 21+24+27=72
