The ratio of the present age of Palash to that of Arnav is 3 : 11. Arn...
Palash/ Arnav= 3/11
Rahim present age = 85 - 7 = 78 yrs
Thats why Arnav present age =78-12= 66yrs
Now, Palash age = 3/11 × 66
=18 yrs
Palash father's age = 18 + 25 = 43 yrs

The ratio of the present age of Palash to that of Arnav is 3 : 11. Let's assume that Palash's age is 3x and Arnav's age is 11x.
Arnav is 12 years younger than Rahim, so we can say that Rahim's age is Arnav's age + 12. Let's represent Rahim's age as y.
So, 11x = y + 12.
Now, we need to find the age of Palash. We know that Palash's age is 3x.
Since the ratio of their ages is given as 3:11, we can write the equation as follows:
3x/y = 3/11.
Cross-multiplying, we get:
11 * 3x = 3y.
33x = 3y.
Now, we have two equations:
11x = y + 12,
33x = 3y.
We can solve these equations simultaneously to find the ages of Palash, Arnav, and Rahim.
Dividing the second equation by 3, we get:
11x = y + 12,
11x = y.
Since both equations are equal to y, we can equate them:
11x = y + 12,
11x = y.
Subtracting the second equation from the first, we get:
0 = 12.
This equation is not possible, which means there is no solution to this problem.
