Question

Bunty is 12 years old. His mother is 30 years older than him. What's the sum of the ages of Bunty and Bunty's mother?

• A. 54 years
• B. 42 years
• C. 18 years
• D. 30 years

Answer 1

The correct option is A 54 years

Given that Bunty's age is 12 years.
Let the age of his mother be $m$ years.

Given that his mother is 30 years older than him.

So, the required algebraic equation is
m = 12 + 30
m= 42

$\therefore$ Bunty's mother's age is 42 years.

Now,

Sum of the ages of Bunty and Bunty's mother
= 12 + 42
= 54 years
