Correct Answer: 25 years
Solution : The average age of Ram and Rahim is 10 years. The average age of Rahim and Ramesh is 15 years. The average age of Ram and Ramesh is 20 years. Total age of Ram and Rahim = (10 × 2) = 20 years Total age of Rahim and Ramesh = (15 × 2) = 30 years Total age of Ram and Ramesh = (20 × 2) = 40 years Total age of Ram, Rahim and Ramesh = $\frac{20+30+40}{2}$ = 45 years So, the age of Ram = (45 – 30) = 15 years, The age of Rahim = (45 – 40) = 5 years, and the age of Ramesh = (45 – 20) = 25 years Therefore, the age of the eldest of the three = 25 years Hence, the correct answer is 25 years.
