Ravi, Reva and Pari are classmates, the age of Reva is equal to average age of Pari and Ravi. The age of Pari two years from now will be same as the present age of Ravi and the sum of ages of all three persons is equal to 72 years. What is the age of Ravi Correct Answer 25 years

The age of Pari two years from now will be same as the present age of Ravi

⇒ Let the age of Pari and Ravi be x – 2 and x respectively

∴ Age of Reva = (x + x – 2)/2 = x – 1

The sum of their ages is equal to 72 years

∴ x + x – 2 + x – 1 = 72

⇒ 3x = 75

⇒ x = 25

∴ Present age of Ravi is 25 years
