In 1950,
Let Richard's age = Ri
Robert's age = Ro
Ri = 4*Ro -- 1
In 1955,
Ri + 5 = 3(Ro + 5)
=>Ri + 5 = 3Ro + 15
=>Ri = 3Ro + 10 -- 2
From equations 1 and 2 ,
4Ro = 3Ro + 10
=> Ro = 10
Ri = 40
Let the number of years needed from 1950 be x
40 + x = 2(10+x) = 20 + 2x
=> x = 20
Therefore , the year is 1970.
Answer C

From the picture above we have 4r+5 = 3r + 15
Or, r = 10
Let the number of years be "x"
so, 40 + x = 2 ( 10 + x )
Or, 40 + x = 20 + 2x
Or, x = 20
So, After 20 years from 1950 ie 1970 Richard will be twice as old as Robert.
PS : Edited , all thanks to whitehalo
