by Iris's age

Roy is now 4 years older than Erik and half of that amount older than Iris. If in 2 years, Roy will be twice as old as Erik, then in 2 years what would be Roy's age multiplied by Iris's age?
(A) 8
(B) 28
(C) 48
(D) 50
(E) 52

Sanju bhai,

Pick C!!

R= E+4

R=I+2

R+2=2(E+2)

Find R,E,I----->(6,2,4)

Multiply (R+2) *(I+2)
(8)*(6)

48...
