Correct Answer: 41 years
Explanation:
Given that :- The average age of 19 boys in a class = 21 years
Total age of 19 boys = 19 × 21 = 399 years
The average age of 19 boys and teacher = 22 years
Total age of 19 boys and teacher = 20 × 22 = 440 years
?Teacher's age = Total age of 19 boys and teacher - Total age of 19 boys
Teacher's age = 440 ? 399 = 41 years
Hence , the age of teacher is 41 years .
Correct Answer: 31 years
Explanation:
Suppose the age of son is P years
Therefore, the age of father will be 5P + 1
According to question ,
? 4( age of son + 3 ) ? 2 years = age of father + 3 years
? 4 ( P + 3 ) ? 2 = ( 5P + 1 ) + 3
? 4P + 12 ? 2 = 5P + 4
? 10 ? 4 = 5P ? 4P
? P = 6
Age of father = 5P + 1 = 5 × 6 + 1 = 31 years
Hence , the age of father is 31 years .
Correct Answer: 45 years
Explanation:
Suppose the present age of son is P years.
Therefore, present age of the father = 4P years
According to question
The present age of son + 3 years = 15
? The present age of son ( P ) = 15 ? 3 = 12 years
The present age of father = 4P = 4 × 12 = 48 years
? The present age of man's wife = The present age of father - 3 = 48 ? 3 = 45 years
Correct Answer: 10 years

Given that :- The age of Ram = 8 years.
The age of Geeta = Age of Ram - 2 years
The age of Geeta = age of Ram - 2 years = 8 ? 2 = 6 years.
According to question ,
? Age of Kamal = 5 x Age of Geeta
The age of Kamal = 6 × 5 = 30 years.
Correct Answer: 30 years
Explanation:
Suppose the age of son at present = P years
? Present age of the father = Present age of son + 30 years
Present age of the father = P + 30 years
Age of father at the birth of his son = Present age of the father - Present age of son = ( P + 30 ) ? P = 30 years
Correct Answer: 35
Explanation:
The age of sister of Ravi at the time of birth of Ravi's brother = 4 years
Ravi's sister is 4 + 3 = 7 years elder than Ravi.
The age of father at the time of birth of Ravi = 28 + 7 = 35 Years
Correct Answer: 12 years and 44 years
Explanation:
Suppose the age of mother be P years and that of daughter's age be Q years.
According to question P + Q = 56 .........(i)
After 4 years, P + 4 = 3 (Q + 4) ? P + 4 = 3Q + 12 ? P ? 3Q = 8 ......(ii)
On solving equations (i) and (ii) , we get
Q = 12 years
? P = 56 ? 12 = 44 years
Hence , the age of mother is 44 years and her daughter's age is 12 years .
Correct Answer: 68
Explanation:
Here , n = 8 , Weight of replaced person = 60 kg and increase in Average = 1 kg

Weight of new person = 60 + 8 × 1 = 68 kg
Correct Answer: 22 years

Given that :- The average age of three friends A, B, C = 20 years.
Total age of three friends A, B, C = 3 x 20 = 60 years.
The average age of A and B = 19 years.
Total age of of A and B = 2 x 19 = 38 years.
? Age of C = Total age of three friends A , B and C - Total age of of A and B
Age of C = 60 ? 38 = 22 years
