Question
Total age of A and B is 12 years more than the total age of B and C.By how many years is C younger than A?
Solution
Let's denote the ages of A, B, and C as a, b, and c respectively.
From the problem, we know that:
a + b = b + c + 12
We can simplify this equation by subtracting b from both sides:
a = c + 12
This means that A is 12 years older than C. So, C is 12 years younger than A.

A is two years older than B who is twice as old as C. If the total of the ages of A, B and C are 27, then how old is B?
The ratio of the ages of A and B twelve years ago was 2 : 3 and the ratio of the ages of B and C 12 years from now will also be 2 : 3. If the average age of A and C at present is 57 years, the ratio of the ages of B and C was/will be 1 : 2
The half of the sum of the ages of A and B is 5 years more than the age of C. The sum of ages of B and C is 10 years more than the age of A. If the age of A is 42 years, then find the age of B.
Twelve years hence, from now age of 'A' will increase by 25%. If 'B' is 14 years elder to 'A', then find the ratio of present age of 'B' to that of 'C' given that age of 'C', 6 years hence from now will be 37 years. a. 3:2 b. 4:1 c. 2:1 d. 2:3
Present age ratio of A and B is 2 : 3. After 12 years their age ratio will be 3 : 4. Find the present age of A.
