When I was married 10 years ago my wife is the 6th member of the family. Today my father died and a baby born to me.The average age of my family during my marriage is same as today. What is the age of Father when he died ?
Options- A. 50 yrs
- B. 60 yrs
- C. 70 yrs
- D. 65 yrs
- Correct Answer
- 60 yrs
ExplanationLet the Father be x years when he died
Average Age 10 years ago be A
Total Age 10 years ago = 6*A
Total Age after 10 years(Just before father's Death) = 6A + 6*10 = 6A + 60
Father Died and Baby was born => the Total number of people in the family is Same (6)
Baby born today so age of baby = 0(6A +60 - x)/6 = 6A/6
=> A + 10 -(x/6) = A
=> x/6 = 10
=> x = 60Therefore we can conclude that the father was 60 years old when he died.

Correct Answer: 70 years
Explanation:
Take A's age as a, B's age as b. a + b = 60 a = 2b So, b + 2b = 60 3b = 60 b = 20 a = 40 So A is 40, B is 20. In 5 years' time, A will be 45, B will be 25. so the sum of their ages will be 70
Correct Answer: 24.5
Correct Answer: 13:6
Explanation:
Let the son's age = x. therefore, the father's age be 3x, Given the product of their ages = 147. => x * 3x = 147 => 3x² = 147. => x² = (147/3) => x² = 49 => x = 7. Therefore, present age of son = x = 7 years. Present age of father = 3x = 21. Age of father after 5 years = 21+5 = 26 years. Age of son after 5 years = 7+5 = 12 years. Ratio=13 : 6
Correct Answer: 11/P + 6
Explanation:
Let Ben?s age now be B
Anita?s age now is A.
(A - 6) = P(B - 6)
But A is 17 and therefore 11 = P(B - 6)
11/P = B-6
(11/P) + 6 = B
Correct Answer: Father = 40; Son =24
Explanation:
Let the present age of the man be 'P' and son be 'Q',
Given, P + Q = 64 or Q = (64 - P)
Now the man says "I am five times as old as you were, when I was as old as you are",
So, P = 5[B - (P - Q)]
We get 6P = 10Q,
Substitute value for Q,
6P = 10(64 - P),
Therefore P = 40, Q = 24.
Correct Answer: data inadequate
Explanation:
Let Meena?s age = A.
Then Sivagami?s age = A + 2
After 6 years the total of their ages will be 7 times of what?
Not clear.
So the given data are inadequate.
Correct Answer: 40
Explanation:
Let daughter?s age = A and mother?s age = B
Given: 2A+B = 70 and A+2B = 95
Solving B, we will get B = 40.
Correct Answer: 4
Explanation:
Let x = the youngest child. Each of the other four children will then be x+3, x+6, x+9, x+12.
We know that the sum of their ages is 50 .
so, x+(x+3)+(x+6)+(x+9)+(x+12) = 50
=> x= 4
The youngest child is 4 years old.
Correct Answer: 22
Explanation:
Let the son's present age be x years. Then, man's present age = (x + 24) years
=> (x + 24) + 2 = 2(x + 2)
=> x + 26 = 2x + 4
So, x = 22
Correct Answer: 15
Explanation:
Krish?s age = 3A and Vaibhav?s age = 5A
(3A+9)/(5A+9) = 3/4
=> 4 (3A + 9) = 3 (5A + 9)
=> A = 3
Therefore, Vaibhav?s age = 15 years.
