Chandan is 2 years older than Ankit but 1 year younger than Sumit. Ankit is twice as old as Khushboo. If Khushboo's age is 25 years, what is the age (in
years) of Sumit?
1). 51
2). 53
3). 52
4). 55
Solution :
Let us take Chandan's age as 'x' , Ankit's age as 'y' , Sumit's age as 'z' and Khushboo's age as 'k' .
It is given that,
Chandan is 2 years older than Ankit 1 ===> $x = y + 2$
Chandan is 1 year younger than Sumit 2 ===> $x = z - 1$
Ankit is twice as old as Khushboo 3 ===> $y = 2 k$
Khushboo's age is $25$ years, so $y = 2 × 25 = 50$
Substituting the value of 'y' in eqn 1 we get,
$x = 50 + 2 = 52$
$x = 52$
Substituting the value of 'x' in equation 2 we get,
$52 = z -1$
$z = 52 + 1$
$z = 53$
So, Sumit's age is $53 $
The correct option is 2).53
