Consider the following three pieces of information: (i) Geeta and Sita are of same age. (ii) Total age of Geeta, Reena and Sita is 88 years. (iii) Reena' age is same as the sum of Geeta and Sita's age. What is the age of Reena? Correct Answer 44

Given 

Age of Geeta = Age of Sita 

Total age of Geeta, Sita and Reena = 88 years 

Age of Reena = Age of Geeta + Age of Sita

Calculation 

Let the age Geeta and Sita be x

According to the question 

x + x + 2x = 88 

⇒ x = 22 

So Reena's age = 2 × 22 = 44 years 

∴ The age of Reena is 44 years
