Question 67

The average ages of (P,Q) ; (Q,R) ; (R,P) are 13, 14 and 12 years respectively. What is the age of Q?

Solution

$$\frac{P + Q}{2} = 13$$ 

$$\frac{Q + R}{2} = 14$$ 

$$\frac{R + P}{2}=12$$

P+Q = 26

Q+R = 28

R+P = 24

Adding the above three equations ,

2(P + Q +R) = 78

P+Q+R = 39

Age of Q = 39 - 24 = 15

So , the answer would be option c)15 years
