The average age of three boys is 15 years. If their ages are in ratio 3 : 5 : 7, the age of the youngest boy is
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
D
Sum of ages of three boys = 45 years
Now, (3x + 5x + 7x) = 45
⇒ 15x = 45
⇒ x = 3
So, age of youngest boy = 3x
= 3 × 3
= 9 years
Now, (3x + 5x + 7x) = 45
⇒ 15x = 45
⇒ x = 3
So, age of youngest boy = 3x
= 3 × 3
= 9 years

Login3+5+7= 15
15=45
1u = 45/15
1u= 3
Youngest boy's 3*3=9 years
Ratio 3+5+7=15
Find 1 part => 45/15 =3
3x3=9, 3x5=15,3x7=21
9 smallest
A=15,N=3
A=s/n
S= 15*3
S=45
3x+5x+7x=45
15x=45
X=3
So, age of youngest boy = 3x
= 3 × 3
= 9 years
15x=45
X=3
3*3=9
(45/(3+5+7))*3=9
(3x+5x+7x)/3=15
15x/3=15
5x=15
x=15/5
x=3
age of youngest boy is 3 so.......
3*3=9
age of second boy is 5 so.....
3*5=15
age of third boy is 7 so......
3*7=21
= 9 years
x=15×3/15
x=3
Age of youngest boy= 3x=>3×3
=9
