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.
