In 2002, Meenu's age was one-third of the age of Meera, whereas in 2010, Meenu's age was half the age of Meera. What is Meenu's year of birth?

Options

  1. a.

    1992

  2. b.

    1994

    Correct answer
  3. c.

    1996

  4. d.

    1998

Explanation

Answer is (b). Let Meenu’s age in 2002 be M and Meera’s age in 2002 be X. In 2002, Meenu = 1/3 of Meera. => M = X/3 In 2010, Meenu = 1/2 of Meera. So, M + 8 = (X + 8) / 2 Solving these two, we get M = 8. So, in 2002, Meenu was 8 years old. So she was born in 1994.
