The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will break it down into two parts corresponding to Quantity I and Quantity II. ### Quantity I: Present Age of A 1. **Set up the ratio of ages**: Let the present age of A be \(4x\) and the present age of B be \(5x\), based on the ratio given (4:5). 2. **Set up the equation for future ages**: In 5 years, A's age will be \(4x + 5\) and B's age will be \(5x + 5\). According to the problem, the ratio of their ages in 5 years will be \(5:6\). This gives us the equation: \[ \frac{4x + 5}{5x + 5} = \frac{5}{6} \] 3. **Cross-multiply to eliminate the fraction**: \[ 6(4x + 5) = 5(5x + 5) \] Expanding both sides: \[ 24x + 30 = 25x + 25 \] 4. **Rearranging the equation**: \[ 24x + 30 - 25 = 25x \] \[ 24x + 5 = 25x \] \[ 5 = 25x - 24x \] \[ 5 = x \] 5. **Finding A's present age**: Substitute \(x\) back into the expression for A's age: \[ A's \, present \, age = 4x = 4 \times 5 = 20 \, years \] ### Quantity II: Age of A 1. **Set up the average age equation**: The average age of A, B, and C is 24 years. Thus, the total age of A, B, and C is: \[ A + B + C = 24 \times 3 = 72 \, years \] 2. **Set up the average age of B and C**: The average age of B and C is 20 years. Thus, the total age of B and C is: \[ B + C = 20 \times 2 = 40 \, years \] 3. **Finding A's age**: We know: \[ A + (B + C) = 72 \] Substitute \(B + C\) from the previous step: \[ A + 40 = 72 \] \[ A = 72 - 40 = 32 \, years \] ### Conclusion - **Quantity I**: A's present age = 20 years - **Quantity II**: A's age = 32 years ### Comparison Since 32 years (Quantity II) is greater than 20 years (Quantity I), we conclude that: **Quantity II is greater than Quantity I.**

To solve the problem, we will break it down into two parts corresponding to Quantity I and Quantity II. ### Quantity I: Present Age of A 1. **Set up the ratio of ages**: Let the present age of A be \(4x\) and the present age of B be \(5x\), based on the ratio given (4:5). 2. **Set up the equation for future ages**: ...
