There are 3 generations living in one house, Abhilasha, Kalpana and Gouri.

Kalpana is 33 years older than Gouri and 28 years younger than Abhilasha. If Kalpana turned 49 this year, what are the ages of the other two family members?

Answer:

Kalpana = 49

Abhilasha = 77

Gouri = 16

Explanation:

You can write this as an equation, where Kalpana is x, to make it easier to understand.

Gouri + 33 = x

Gouri = x - 33

Abhilasha - 28 = x

Abhilasha = x + 28

Now just plug in 49.

49 - 33 = 16

49 + 28 = 77
