Answer : 2. "41"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 41 Explanation: Given P = 54 and M = 80 According to the question, Let ‘A’ years ago, M = 3P => M - A/P - A = 3 => 80 - A = 3(54 - A) => 80 - A = 162 - 3A => 2A = 82 => A = 41 Therefore, A = 41 years ago Sweety’s mother was 3 times of Sweety’s age. Hence, at the age S = 13 and M = 39.
