CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. Let Arnav be aa. Kavya = 2a2a, Sunil = 2a+32a + 3.

  2. a+2a+2a+3=43a + 2a + 2a + 3 = 43, so 5a=405a = 40 and a=8a = 8.

  3. Sunil = 2×8+3=192 \times 8 + 3 = 19 years.

Worth noting

16 years is Kavya's age. Pick the smallest person as x so that every other age is written without fractions.
