The age of a person is thrice the total ages of his 2 daughters. 0.5 decades hence, his age will be twice of the total ages of his daughters. Then what is the father’s current age? [0.5 Decades = 5 Years]

A 35 years

B 40 years

C 45 years

D 47 years

Solution

Correct Answer: Option C

Let, Total of current ages of the 2 daughters is A years.
Then, father’s current age = 3A years.
(3A + 5) = 2 (A +10)
3A + 5 = 2A + 20
A = 15
Therefore, father’s current age = 45 years.
