Present age of A is 2 times the present age of B. After 8 years the B's age will be 4 times of C's present age. If C celebrated his fifth birthday 9 years ago, then what is the present age (in years) of A?

Options

A. 88
B. 96
C. 92
D. 84

Answer

B

Explanation

Suppose the present age of B = x years
Therefore, the present age of A
=2 x years
Present age of C=5+9
=14 years
According to question `x+8=14xx4`
`impliesx=56-8=48`
`:.` Present age of A=2x
`=2xx48=96` years
