Seven years from now, Anamika will be as old as Malini was 4 years ago. Srinidhi was born 2 years ago. The average age of Anamika, Malini, and Srinidhi 10 years from now will be 33 years. What is the present age of Anamika?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 28 years.
Let the present age of Anamika = x
and the present age of Malini = y
According to the question;
x + 7 = y - 4
y = x + 11 ---------------- (1)
Age of Srinidhi = 2 years
The average age of Anamika, Malini, and Srinidhi 10 years from now will be 33 years.
(x + 10 + y + 10 + 2 + 10) = 33 × 3 = 99
x + y + 32 = 99
x + y = 67 ----------------- (2)
Solving equation 1 and 2;
x = 28
y = 39
Thus, the present age of Anamika = 28 years
Hence, the correct answer is 28 years.
