  • Question 1/10
    1 / -0.25

    If 6 years are subtracted from the present age of Gagan and the remainder is divided by 18, then present age of his grandson Anup is obtained. If Anup is two years younger to Madan whose present age is 5 years, then what is Gagan’s present age?
    Solutions
    Madan’s present age =5 years.
    Then Anup’s age=5-2=3 years.

    Let x be the present age of Gagan.
    Then, according to question,

    (x-6)/18 = 3
    x = 54+6 = 60 years
  • Question 2/10
    1 / -0.25

    The ratio of present age of Ram and Shivam is 7 : 9. If 12 years ago, the ratio of their ages was 5 : 7. Then find the ratio of their ages 12 years from now.
    Solutions

    Let the age of Ram be 7x.

    Therefore, Shivam’s age =9x

    A.T.Q.

    49x – 84 = 45x - 60

    4x = 24

    x = 6

    Present age of Ram = 7x = 42 years

    Present age of Shivam = 9x = 54 years

    Required Ratio of ages after 12 years

     = 9 : 11.

  • Question 3/10
    1 / -0.25

    The Present ages of A and B are in the ratio 3: 1. Fifteen years hence, the ratio will be 2: 1. Their present age (in years) are

    Solutions

    Lets B Present age is x

    A’s present age = 3 x years
    B’s present age = x years
    After 15 years,

    ∴ A’s present age = 15×3 = 45 years

  • Question 4/10
    1 / -0.25

    Ten years ago, the average age of P and Q was 20 yr. Average age of P, Q and R is 30 yr now. After 10 yr, the age of R will be
    Solutions
    10 yr ago, total age of P and Q = 20 × 2 = 40 yr
    Present total age of P and Q = 40 + 2 × 10 = 60 yr
    Present total age of P, Q and R = 30 × 3 = 90 yr
    R’s present age = 90 – 60 = 30 yr
    After 10 yr R’s age = (30 + 10) yr = 40 yr
  • Question 5/10
    1 / -0.25

    A father said to his son, "I was as old as you are at the present at the time of your birth". If the father's age is 38 years now, the son's age five years back was:
    Solutions
    Let the son’s present age =x years. Then father’s age x years before was (38-x) years. According to question,
    38-x=x
    x=19 years = age of the son
    Son’s age five year back =19-5=14 years
  • Question 6/10
    1 / -0.25

    A fathers age is three times the sum of the ages of his two children, but 20 years hence his age will be equal to the sum of ages of his children. The fathers age is:
    Solutions

    Let the age of father and his two sons be x, y and z years.

    According to question:

    x = 3 (y +z) ……………. (1)

    20 years hence,

    Fathers age = (x + 20)

    And age of his two sons will be (y + 20) and (z + 20) years

    According to question:

    (x+ 20) = (y + 20) + (z+ 20)

    x + 20 = y + z + 40

    x - (y + z) = 20 …………. (2)

    putting the value of x in above equation (2):

    we get

    3 (y + z) – (y + z) = 20

    2 (y + z) = 20

    y + z = 10

    putting the value of (y + z) in equation (1)

    we get

    x = 3 × 10 = 30 years

  • Question 7/10
    1 / -0.25

    Twelve years ago, the age of mother was three times the age of her son. After ten years, mother’s age will be twice that of his son. Find the ratio of their present ages.
    Solutions

    12 years ago, the age of the mother was three times the age of her son. Say, the age of the son was 'x', and the mother's age was '3x'.

    At present: Mother's age is (3x+12) and the son’s age is (x+12)

    After ten years: The mother's age will be (3x+12)+10 and the son’s age will be (x+12)+10

    Given that, mother’s age is twice that of son after ten years.

    (3x+12)+10 = 2[(x+12)+10]

    (3x+22) = 2(x+22)

    Solving the equation, we get x = 22

    Ratio of Present ages = (3x+12) : (x+12) = 78 : 34 = 39 : 17

  • Question 8/10
    1 / -0.25

    Rahul said to Mahi, "I was one-fourth of your present age when you were born". If the present age of Rahul is 45 years, find the present age of Mahi.
    Solutions
    Present age of Mahi be 'x', she was born 'x' years ago.

    Then the age of Rahul was: 45−x

    His age when the son was born should be equal to .

  • Question 9/10
    1 / -0.25

    The ages of Ravi and Mohan are in the ratio 9 : 7, while that of Mohan and Ram are in the ratio 5 : 7 and that of Ram and Shyam are in the ratio 2 : 3. If the difference between the age of Shyam and Ravi is 11.4 years then find the age of Mohan?
    Solutions

    Let Age of Ravi and Mohan be 9x and 7x respectively.

    Age ratio of Mohan and Ram = 5 : 7

    Age of Ram  Age of Mohan =

    Age ratio of Ram and Shyam

    Age of Shyam  Age of Ram

    A.T.Q.

    57x = 114

    x = 2

    So, Age of Mohan = 7x = 14

  • Question 10/10
    1 / -0.25

    Kalim is 16 years older to Pavan and the respective ratio of Pavan’s age 4 year hence and Chhotu present age is 5 : 3. If at present Kalim’s age is thrice the age of Chhotu. What will be Pavan’s age four year hence?
    Solutions

    Given that,

    Kalim’s age = Pavan’s age + 16

    Pavan’s age = Kalim’s age – 16

    A.T.Q.

    Given that, Kalim’s age = 3 × Chhotu’s age

    9 × Chhotu’s age – 36 = 5 × Chhotu’s age

    Chhotu’s age = 9 years

    Kalim’s age = 3 × 9 = 27 years

    Pavan’s age = 27 – 16 = 11 years

    So, Pavan 4 years hence age = 11 + 4

    = 15 years.
