Brothers Ages Aptitude Problem

The Brothers Ages Aptitude Problem is as follows :

Question :

Bharath is 5 years elder than Akash who is 4 years elder than Raghu. The sum of their ages is 61. Find the age of  Akash.

 

Solution :

From the question, it is obvious that Raghu is the youngest brother. Let his age be x.

Now Akash’s age is = x + 4

and Bharaths age is = 5 + Akash’s age = 5 + (x + 4) = x + 9

So sum of all the ages is = x + (x + 4)  + (x + 9) => 3x + 13 = 61.

3x = 61 -13 = 48

Implies , x = 48/3 = 16 :)

This is Raghu’s age. Hence Akash’s age is 16 + 4 = 20 yrs :)
