Question

Khushi is three years older than Pihoo but two years younger than Tushar. Tushar's age is five years more than thrice of Vatshala's age. If Vatshala is five years old, then what is the age of Pihoo?
1. 15 years
2. 20 years
3. 17 years
4. 18 years

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : 15 years

Given that,

Vatshala's age = 5 years

Tushar's age = 3(Vatshala's age) + 5

Tushar's age = 3 × 5 + 5 = 15 + 5

Tushar's age = 20 years.

Khushi is two years younger to Tushar.

Khushi's age = (Tushar's age) - 2

Khushi's age = 20 - 2 = 18 years.

Also, Khushi is three years older than Pihoo.

Khushi's age = (Pihoo's age) + 3

Pihoo's age = Khushi's age - 3

Pihoo's age = 18 - 3

Pihoo's age = 15 years.

Hence, the correct answer is "15 years".
