The sum of the present ages of Vishal and Aditi is 105 years. If Aditi is 25 years younger than Vishal, what will be the present age of Pritam, who is 7 years older than Aditi?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 47 years
Let's denote Vishal's age as V and Aditi's age as A.
From the problem, we have the following information:
1. The sum of Vishal's and Aditi's ages is 105 years:
[ V + A = 105 ]
2. Aditi is 25 years younger than Vishal:
[ A = V - 25 ]
We need to find the current age of Preetam, who is 7 years older than Aditi.
First, substitute the second equation into the first equation:
[ V + (V - 25) = 105 ]
2V - 25 = 105
2V = 80
V = 40
Finally, since Preetam is 7 years older than Aditi:
Preetam's age = 40 + 7 = 47
