The total of the ages of Ashok, Akbar and Anil is 65 years. What was the total of their ages six years ago ?

A  59

B  43

C 57

D 47

Solution

Correct Answer: Option D

Let their ages be x, y, z
Hence given that x + y + z = 65
Now, six years ago x age is x - 6, y is y - 6 and that of z is z - 6
Then the sum of their ages six years ago is (x + y + z) - (6 + 6 + 6) = 65 - 18 = 47
