Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 30

Given

The average of ages of Suman, Kanti and Reena is 30 years

six years from now the average ages of Suman and Kanti will be 36 years

Formula used

Average = sum of all the observations / total number of observations

Calculations

Let the present ages of Suman, Kanti and Reena be S, K and R respectively

⇒ (S + K + R) / 3 = 30

⇒ S + K + R = 30 × 3

⇒ S + K + R = 90         ---(1)

Also six years from now the average ages of Suman and Kanti will be 36 years,

⇒ [(S + 6) + (K + 6)] / 2 = 36

⇒ S + K = 60         ---(2)

From (1) and (2) we get R = 30 years

Hence the age of reena is 30 years.
