Question 7 Back to Exercise

A mother and her daughter were born in the years marked.

Birth years
1985199019952000200520102015202020252030MotherDaughter

In which year will the mother be exactly three times as old as her daughter?

  • A 2020
  • B 2024 Correct
  • C 2036
  • D 2030
Correct Answer: Option B

Age gap = 2012 − 1988 = 24 years

Mother = 3 × daughter → gap = 2 × daughter → daughter = 12

Year = 2012 + 12 = 2024

Trap: 2036 makes the mother only twice as old.

Answer: 2024
