The difference between the ages of two persons is 10 years. 15 years ago the elder one was twice as old as the younger one. The present age of the elder person is?

25 years
35 years
45 years
55 years

Correct Answer: 35 years

Explanation:

Let the present age of the elder person be x years.
Then, the present age of the younger person = (x - 10) years.
∵ (x - 15) = 2(x - 10 - 15)
⇒ x = 35
∴ the present age of the elder person is 35 years.
