The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to break it down into two parts: Quantity I and Quantity II. ### Quantity I 1. **Let A's present age be \( x \) years.** - Since B's present age is 60% more than A's, we can express B's age as: \[ B = x + 0.6x = 1.6x \] 2. **The ratio of B's age to C's age is given as 5:2.** - This means: \[ \frac{B}{C} = \frac{5}{2} \] - Substituting B's age: \[ \frac{1.6x}{C} = \frac{5}{2} \] - Cross-multiplying gives: \[ 2 \cdot 1.6x = 5C \implies C = \frac{3.2x}{5} = 0.64x \] 3. **D is 8 years younger than B.** - Therefore, D's age can be expressed as: \[ D = B - 8 = 1.6x - 8 \] 4. **D's present age is also twice that of C.** - Thus, we can set up the equation: \[ D = 2C \] - Substituting for D and C: \[ 1.6x - 8 = 2(0.64x) \] - Simplifying gives: \[ 1.6x - 8 = 1.28x \] - Rearranging: \[ 1.6x - 1.28x = 8 \implies 0.32x = 8 \implies x = \frac{8}{0.32} = 25 \] 5. **Now we can find the ages of A, B, C, and D.** - A's age: \[ A = x = 25 \text{ years} \] - B's age: \[ B = 1.6x = 1.6 \times 25 = 40 \text{ years} \] - C's age: \[ C = 0.64x = 0.64 \times 25 = 16 \text{ years} \] - D's age: \[ D = 1.6x - 8 = 40 - 8 = 32 \text{ years} \] 6. **Calculate the average age of A, B, C, and D.** - The average age is given by: \[ \text{Average} = \frac{A + B + C + D}{4} = \frac{25 + 40 + 16 + 32}{4} = \frac{113}{4} = 28.25 \text{ years} \] ### Quantity II 1. **Let P's present age be \( p \) years and Q's present age be \( q \) years.** - The average age of P and Q is given by: \[ R = \frac{p + q}{2} \] 2. **Four years hence, P's age will be twice Q's age.** - This can be expressed as: \[ p + 4 = 2(q + 4) \] - Simplifying gives: \[ p + 4 = 2q + 8 \implies p = 2q + 4 \] 3. **R is 15 years younger than P.** - Therefore: \[ R = p - 15 \] 4. **Equating the two expressions for R:** \[ \frac{p + q}{2} = p - 15 \] - Cross-multiplying gives: \[ p + q = 2(p - 15) \implies p + q = 2p - 30 \implies q = p - 30 \] 5. **Substituting \( q \) in terms of \( p \) into the equation \( p = 2q + 4 \):** \[ p = 2(p - 30) + 4 \implies p = 2p - 60 + 4 \implies p - 2p = -56 \implies -p = -56 \implies p = 56 \] - Then substituting back to find \( q \): \[ q = 56 - 30 = 26 \] - Finding R: \[ R = 56 - 15 = 41 \] 6. **Identify the younger person among P, Q, and R:** - Ages are: \[ P = 56, \quad Q = 26, \quad R = 41 \] - The youngest person is Q, who is 26 years old. ### Final Results - **Quantity I:** Average age of A, B, C, and D is **28.25 years**. - **Quantity II:** The age of the younger person among P, Q, and R is **26 years** (Q).
