Question

Raju's present age is three years less than three times of the present age of Vikas. If the present age of Raju is 27 years, find the present age of Vikas.

• A. 8 years
• B. 15 years
• C. 12 years
• D. 10 years

Answer 1

The correct option is D 10 years

Let the present age of Vikas = x
So, present age of Raju = 3x - 3
Given that present age of Raju = 27 years
So, 3x - 3 = 27
Add 3 on both the sides
3x - 3 + 3 = 27 + 3
3x = 30
Divide both the sides by 3
x = 10
Hence, present age of Vikas = 10 years
