Download Solution PDFSolution:
A : B = 1 : 3
A : C = 2 : 3
By solving we get,
A : B : C = 2 : 6 : 3
The difference between the present ages of A and C is 2 years
3 - 2 = 2
1 = 2 years
Age of A is 4 years .
Age of B is 12 years.
Age of C is 6 years.
In 14 years time, they will all be 14 years older:
A will be 4 + 14 = 18 years old.
B will be 12 + 14 = 26 years old.
C will be 6 + 14 = 20 years old.
So, the total age of A, B, and C in 14 years will be 64 years.
Mistake Points Please note the ratio is given
A : B = 1 : 3
A : C = 2 : 3
To solve this we need to change the position of A
B : A = 3 : 1
A : C = 2 : 3
SO, B : A : C = 6 : 2 : 3
