Question

Jayesh is as much younger than Anil as he is older than Prashant. If the sum of the ages of Anil and Prashant is 48 years, what is the age of Jayesh?

• A. 20 years
• B. 24 years
• C. 30 years
• D. None of these
• E. Insufficient data

Answer 1

The correct option is B 24 years

Suppose the age of Jayesh = x years
Age of Anil = (x + y)years
Age of Prashant = (x - y) years
According to question,
(x + y) + (x - y) = 48
$\Rightarrow$ 2x = 48
$\therefore x=\frac{48}{2}$ = 24 years
