Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D. 108
Explanation
Let the son's present age be x; man = 2x. Then 2x − 18 = 3(x − 18) ⇒ 2x − 18 = 3x − 54 ⇒ x = 36, man = 72. Sum = 36 + 72 = 108.माना बेटे की वर्तमान आयु x है; व्यक्ति = 2x। तब 2x − 18 = 3(x − 18) ⇒ 2x − 18 = 3x − 54 ⇒ x = 36, व्यक्ति = 72। योग = 36 + 72 = 108।More Mathematical Reasoning and Aptitude questions
