Ashok is 3 years elder than Balu who is now 4 times as old as Jaswanth. Jaswanth is now 6 years old. What was Ashok’s age when Jaswanth was born?

A 20

B 27

C 21

D 25

Correct Answer: Option C

Let Ashok age A.
Age of Balu = A-3
Jaswanth’s age = 6
Balu’s Age = 4* J’s age
i.e., A – 3 = 4 x 6
X = 24 + 3 = 27
Hence, Ashok’s age = 27 – 6 = 21
