Four years ago, the average age of A and B was 18 years. At present the average age of A, B, and C is 24 years. What would be the age of C after 8 years?

A. 25 years

B. 28 years

C. 32 years

D. 36 years

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Sum of the present ages of A and B
= (18 × 2 + 4 × 2) years
= 44 years
Sum of the present ages of A, B and C
= (24 × 3) years
= 72 years
C's present age
= (72 - 44) years
= 28 years
∴ C's age after 8 years
= (28 + 8) years
= 36 years
