Correct Answer: 21 years
Solution : The average age of Rustam and Preetam = 30 years Use the formula to find the average, Average = $\frac{\text{Sum of the ages}}{{\text{Total number of Person}}}$ The sum of their ages = Average × Total number of Person = 2 × 30 = 60 years The average age of Preetam and Geetam = 20 years = 2 × 20 = 40 years The average age of Rustam and Geetam = 26 years = 2 × 26 = 52 years So, Sum of the ages of three = 60 + 40 + 52 = 152 ⇒ 2(Rustam +Preetam + Geetam) = 152 ⇒ (Rustam +Preetam + Geetam) = 76 Age of Geetam (youngest one) = 76 – Sum of the age of Rustam and Preetam = 76 – 60 = 16 After 5 years, she will be 16 + 5 = 21 years old Hence, the correct answer is 21 years.
