Correct Answer: x - 2
Explanation:
3 Years age Ritu's age was x years, then
Ritu's present age = x + 3 years
According to question,
Present age of Rahul is 5 years less than Ritu's present age
Hence, present age of Rahul = x + 3 - 5 = x - 2 years
Correct Answer: 2 years
Explanation:
Let us assume the present age of baby Y year.
According to question,
Three years ago, the average age of a family of 5 members was 17 years.
The present Total age of the family of 5 member = 5 x 17 + 5 x 3 =100 ..........(1)
Again according to question,
The average age of the family is the same as what was three years ago.
The present average age of family of 6 member= 17
Total present age of family of 6 member / 6 = 17
(Total present age of family of 5 member + present age of baby)/6 = 17
100 + Y = 17 x 6
Y = 17 x 6 - 100 = 102 - 100 = 2 years
Correct Answer: 15 years
Explanation:
Let the present ages of A, B and C are 3x, 5x and 7x years respectively; then
According to question,
3x + 5x + 7x = 3 x 25
? 15x = 75
? x = 5
Hence, age of A = 3x = 3 x 5 = 15 years
Correct Answer: 6 years
Explanation:
Let the present ages of A and B are 11x and 13x years respectively; then
According to question,
After 7 years the ratio of their ages will be 20 : 23.
(11x + 7 ) / (13x + 7) = 20/23
? (11x + 7 ) 23 = 20 (13x + 7)
? 253x + 161 = 260x + 140
? 7x = 21
? x = 3
Hence, difference of their ages = 13x - 11x = 2x = 2 x 3 = 6 years
Correct Answer: 28 years
Explanation:
Let us assume the present ages of woman and her daughter be 2x and x years respectively ; then
According to question,
The average age of a woman and her daughter is 42 years
(2x + x)/2 = 42
? 3x = 84
? x = 28
Hence, present age of her daughter = 28 years
Correct Answer: 5 : 4
Explanation:
Let the present ages of Namrata and Divya are 4x and 3x years respectively; then
According to question,
4x + 3x = 28
? x = 4
Hence, their present ages are 16 and 12 years.
So required ratio = (16 +4) : (12 + 4) = 20 : 16 = 5 :4
Correct Answer: 15 years
Explanation:
Let the present age of Gopal and Madhawa are 4x and 3x years respectively; then
According to question,

? 4x = 20
? x = 5
Hence, present age of Madhawa = 3x = 3 x 5 = 15 years
Correct Answer: 38 years
Explanation:
Let us assume 10 years ago, ages of Ram, Shyam and Mohan were 2x, 3x and 4x years respectively.
Present ages of Ram, Shyam and Mohan will be 2x + 10 , 3x + 10 and 4x + 10 years.
According to question,
2x + 10 + 3x + 10 + 4x + 10 = 93
? 9x + 30 = 93
? 9x = 93 - 30
? 9x = 63
? x = 7
The present age of mohan = 4x + 10 = 4x7 + 10 = 38 years
Correct Answer: 30 years
