  1. The average age of the present ages of Amit and Anil is 32 years. If Amit is 6 years older than Anil, what is Anil’s present age?
    1. 38 years
    2. 26 years
    3. 19 years
    4. 29 years
Correct Option: D

The average age of the present ages of Amit and Anil = 32 years
Total age of Amit and Anil = 2 × 32 = 64 years
Suppose, age of Anil = P years
∴ Age of Amit = P + 6 years
According to the question, P + P + 6 = 64
⇒ 2P = 64 – 6 = 58

∴ P =
58
= 29 years
2

Hence , Anil’s present age is 29 years .
