Present age of A is 2 times the present age of B. After 8 years the B's age will be 4 times of C's present age. If C celebrated his fifth birthday 9 years ago, then what is the present age (in years) of A?

  • 88 years

  • 96 years

  • 92 years

  • 84 years


B.

96 years

As 9 years ago,  C celebrated his 5th birthday;
Therefore, C's Present age  = (9 + 5) = 14 yrs
Therefore, B's present age = (4 x 14)- 8 = 56 - 8 = 48 years;
Therefore, A's present age = (2 x 48) = 96 years.
