Question

Suresh's age is double of Kiran's age. The sum of their ages is $24$ years. How old is Suresh?

• A. $16$ years
• B. $24$ years
• C. $20$ years
• D. $14$ years

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$16$ years

Let Kiran's age $=x$ years
$\therefore$ Suresh's age $=2x$ years
Given, $x+2x=24$
$\Rightarrow 3x=24\Rightarrow x=\frac{24}{3}=8$
$\therefore$ Suresh's age $=(2\times 8)=16$ years
