Question

Guru is twice as old as Srinu. If Guru's age is 60 years, how old is Srinu?

• A. 45 years
• B. 30 years
• C. 10 years
• D. 15 years

Answer 1

The correct option is B 30 years

Let the age of Guru = g
Let the age of Srinu = s
Given: Guru's age is twice as old as Srinu.
$\therefore$ g = 2s

Also given: Guru's age = 60
$\therefore$ g = 60
$\Rightarrow 2s=60$
$\Rightarrow s=30$

$\therefore$ Srinu's age is 30 years.
