Answer 1

Given:

A's age is seven times B's age

Sum of the age of A and B = 48 years

Calculation:

Let the B's age be x years.

A's age = 7x

According to the question,

⇒ x + 7x = 48

⇒ x = \(\frac{48}{8}\) = 6

⇒ A's age = 7 × 6 = 42 years

⇒ B's age = 6 years

Therefore, the present ages of A and B are 42 and 6 years respectively.

Hence, the correct answer is option 2).
