The correct Answer is:
Let's break down the solution step by step for the given question. ### Quantity I: Present Age of Randy 1. **Identify the variables**: - Let Randy's present age be \( x \). - Sandy's age is given as 19 years younger than Sundar, whose age is 24. Therefore, Sandy's age can be calculated as: \[ \text{Sandy's age} = 24 - 19 = 5 \text{ years} \] 2. **Set up the equation**: - According to the problem, if 10 years are subtracted from Randy's age, it equals 12 times Sandy's age: \[ x - 10 = 12 \times 5 \] 3. **Calculate the right side**: - Calculate \( 12 \times 5 \): \[ 12 \times 5 = 60 \] 4. **Formulate the equation**: - Now substitute back into the equation: \[ x - 10 = 60 \] 5. **Solve for \( x \)**: - Add 10 to both sides: \[ x = 60 + 10 = 70 \] 6. **Conclusion for Quantity I**: - Randy's present age is \( 70 \) years. ### Quantity II: Average Age of Remaining Persons in the Group 1. **Calculate total age of the group**: - The average age of 14 persons is given as 27 years and 9 months. Convert this into years: \[ 27 \text{ years} + \frac{9}{12} \text{ years} = 27 + 0.75 = 27.75 \text{ years} \] - Total age of the group: \[ \text{Total age} = 14 \times 27.75 = 387 \text{ years} \] 2. **Subtract the ages of the two persons who left**: - Two persons, each 42 years old, left the group. Their total age is: \[ 2 \times 42 = 84 \text{ years} \] - New total age of the group: \[ \text{New total age} = 387 - 84 = 303 \text{ years} \] 3. **Calculate the new average age**: - After the two persons left, the number of persons in the group is \( 14 - 2 = 12 \). - New average age: \[ \text{New average age} = \frac{303}{12} = 25.25 \text{ years} \] 4. **Conclusion for Quantity II**: - The average age of the remaining persons in the group is \( 25.25 \) years. ### Final Comparison - Quantity I (Randy's age): \( 70 \) years - Quantity II (Average age of remaining persons): \( 25.25 \) years ### Conclusion - Since \( 70 > 25.25 \), **Quantity I is greater than Quantity II**.
