The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will define the present ages of A, B, C, and D using algebraic expressions based on the information provided in the question. ### Step 1: Define the variables Let: - Present age of A = A - Present age of B = B - Present age of C = C - Present age of D = D ### Step 2: Set up the equations based on the information given 1. The sum of the present ages of A and B is 81: \[ A + B = 81 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] 2. Age of A 2 years hence (A + 2) is equal to the age of C 1 year ago (C - 1): \[ A + 2 = C - 1 \quad \Rightarrow \quad C = A + 3 \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] 3. Age of A 4 years hence (A + 4) is equal to the age of B 1 year ago (B - 1): \[ A + 4 = B - 1 \quad \Rightarrow \quad B = A + 5 \quad \text{(Equation 3)} \] 4. The ratio of the present ages of A and D is 2:3: \[ \frac{A}{D} = \frac{2}{3} \quad \Rightarrow \quad D = \frac{3}{2} A \quad \text{(Equation 4)} \] ### Step 3: Substitute Equation 3 into Equation 1 From Equation 3, we have: \[ B = A + 5 \] Substituting this into Equation 1: \[ A + (A + 5) = 81 \] \[ 2A + 5 = 81 \] \[ 2A = 81 - 5 \] \[ 2A = 76 \] \[ A = 38 \] ### Step 4: Find the age of B using Equation 3 Now, substituting A back into Equation 3: \[ B = A + 5 = 38 + 5 = 43 \] ### Step 5: Find the age of C using Equation 2 Now, substituting A back into Equation 2: \[ C = A + 3 = 38 + 3 = 41 \] ### Step 6: Find the age of D using Equation 4 Now, substituting A back into Equation 4: \[ D = \frac{3}{2} A = \frac{3}{2} \times 38 = 57 \] ### Step 7: Find the difference between the ages of B and D Now, we can find the difference between the ages of B and D: \[ \text{Difference} = D - B = 57 - 43 = 14 \] ### Final Answer The difference of age between B and D is **14 years**. ---

To solve the problem step by step, we will define the present ages of A, B, C, and D using algebraic expressions based on the information provided in the question. ### Step 1: Define the variables Let: - Present age of A = A - Present age of B = B - Present age of C = C - Present age of D = D ...
