Question

Ali's father is 45 years old. He is 15 years older than twice Ali's age. How old is Ali?

• A. 16 years
• B. 12 years
• C. 15 years
• D. 17 years

Answer 1

The correct option is C

15 years

Let Ali's age = x

Ali's fathers age = 2x + 15

According to the question 2x + 15 = 45

Or, x = 15

Therefore, Ali's age is 15 years.
