Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 34 Given∶ Ratio of ages of Agam, Bony and Chetna = 1 ∶ 2 ∶ 4. Difference in ages of Agam and Bony = 17 years. Calculation∶ let the ages of Agam, Bony and Chetana be x, 2x and 4x respectively According to the question, ⇒ 2x – 1x = 17 ⇒ x = 17 yr Also, the age difference between Bony and Chetna, ⇒ 4x – 2x = 2x ---(1) Putting the value of x = 17 in equation (1) ⇒ 2 × 17 = 34 years ∴ The age difference between Bony and Chetna is 34 years |
