Question

Three years ago, the average age of Vedh and Veehan was 18 years. When Arjit joins them, the average age becomes 22 years. How old is Arjit now?

• A. 20
• B. 24
• C. 28
• D. 32
• E. 26

Answer 1

The correct option is B

24

Present age of (Vedh + Veehan) = (18 $\times 2$ + 3 $\times 2$ ) years = 42 years.

Present age of (Vedh + Veehan + Arjit) = (22 $\times 3$ ) years = 66 years.

Therefore Arjit's age = (66 -- 42) years = 24 years.
