Bratin is now 18 years old, whereas his cousin is 7 years old. After how many years will Bertin’s age be 1.5 times that of his cousin? Correct Answer 15
According to the given information,
Bratin’ s age is 18 years
His cousin’ s age is 7 years
Verifying the given options,
Option 1→ 15 years
Bratin’ s age after 15 years is 33
His cousin’s age after 15 years is 22
22 × 1.5 = 33
Option 2 → 16 years
Bratin’ s age after 16 years is 34
His cousin’s age after 16 years is 23
23 × 1.5 is not equal to 34
Option 3 → 13 years
Bratin’ s age after 13 years is 31
His cousin’s age after 13 years is 20
20 × 1.5 is not equal to 31
Option 4 → 14 years
Bratin’ s age after 14 years is 32
His cousin’s age after 14 years is 21
21 × 1.5 is not equal to 32
Hence, “15 years” is the correct answer.
