The following question based on average topic of quantitative aptitude

Questions : The average age of A and B is 20 years. If A is to be replaced by C, the average would be 19 years. The average age of C and A is 21 years. The ages of A, B and C in order (in years) are

(a) 18, 20, 22

(b) 18, 22, 20

(c) 22, 20, 18

(d) 22, 18, 20

The correct answers to the above question in:

Answer: (d)

A + B = 2 × 20 = 40

C + B = 2 × 19 = 38

C + A = 2 × 21 = 42

On adding all three,

2 (A + B + C) = 40 + 38 + 42 = 120

⇒ A + B + C = 60

∴ A = (A + B + C) – (B + C)

= 60 – 38 = 22 years

B = (A + B + C) – (A + C)

= 60 – 42 = 18 years

C = (A + B + C) – (A + B)

= 60 – 40 = 20 years
