‘X’ and her grandfather differ in their ages by 50 years. After 6 years, if the sum of their ages is 152, their present ages are

1. 24, 74
2. 26, 76
3. 45, 95
4. 25, 75

Correct Option: C

Suppose the present age of X = P years
Her grandfather’s present age = P + 50 years
According to question P + 6 + P + 50 + 6
⇒ 2P + 62 = 152
⇒ 2P = 152 – 60

∴ present age of 'X' = P =	90	= 45 Years
	2

and present age of grand father = P + 50 = 45 +50 = 95 years
