The sum of the ages of 5 children born at the intervals of 3 years each is 50 years. What is the age of the youngest child ?


A) 4 years

B) 8 years

C) 10 years

D) None of these

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Let the ages of the children be x,(x+3),(x+9) and (x+12) years
Then x+(x+3)+(x+9)+(x+12) = 50
5x = 20
x = 4
Age of the youngest child x=4 years
