javid is half as old as rashid and rashid is half as old as naveed.the sum of thier ages is105 years . calculate the ages of javid, rashid and naveed.

Question

proportion

Answer 1

Well 105 is an odd number so nothing will be halfed 105. The only answer I can think of is 52 1/2. 

Answer: 52 1/2

Answer 2

Let the ages be J, R, N.

J=R/2; R=N/2; R=2J, N=2R=4J.

J+R+N=105=J+2J+4J=7J. So J=105/7=15, therefore R=30 and N=60.

Javid is 15 years old, Rashid is 30 and Naveed is 60.

Not a chance, Mathical. You gave an honest answer and tried to help. It doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong. It's silly answers from people who should know better that get deleted.
