Solution : Average of Ram's and Shyam's age = 28 ⇒ $\text{Ram + Shyam}=28\times2=56$ Average of Rahim's and Shyam's age = 26 ⇒ $\text{Rahim + Shyam}=26\times2=52$ Average of Ram's and Rahim's age = 30 ⇒ $\text{Ram + Rahim}=30\times2=60$ The sum of the ages = 56 + 52 + 60 ⇒ 2(Ram + Rahim + Shyam) = 168 ⇒ (Ram + Rahim + Shyam) = 84 Ram' age = (Ram + Rahim + Shyam) – ( Rahim + Shyam) = 84 – 52 = 32 Shyam' age = (Ram + Rahim + Shyam) – ( Rahim + Ram) = 84 – 60 = 24 Rahim' age = (Ram + Rahim + Shyam) – ( Ram + Shyam) = 84 – 56 = 28 Hence, the correct answer is 32 years, 24 years, and 28 years.
