Correct Answer: 40/3 years
Explanation:
Let Rama's age 8 years ago be x years and mother's age 8 years ago be 5x 2(x+16) = 5x+16 2x+32 = 5x=16 3x = 16 x = 16/3 Hence, present age of Rama = x+8 = (16/3)+8 = 40/3 years
Correct Answer: 45 years
Explanation:
Let, Total of current ages of the 2 daughters is A years.
Then, father?s current age = 3A years.
(3A + 5) = 2 (A +10)
3A + 5 = 2A + 20
A = 15
Therefore, father?s current age = 45 years.
Correct Answer: 10
Explanation:
Let Rajeev's present age be x years.
Rajeev's age after 15 years = (x + 15) years.
Rajeev's age 5 years back = (x - 5) years
Then ATQ,
x + 15 = 5 (x - 5)
x + 15 = 5x - 25
=> x = 10
Hence, Rajeev's present age = x = 10 years.
Correct Answer: 15 years
Explanation:
Current ages of Yuvaraj = 4A and Ganguly = 3A
So that 4A + 6 = 26
A = 5
Current age of Ganguly = 3A
=> 3 x 5 = 15 years
Correct Answer: 35
Explanation:
Let A's age 10 years ago = x years.
Then, B's age 10 years ago = 2x years.
(x + 10) / (2x+ l0) = 3/4
=> x = 5.
So, the total of their present ages =(x + 10 + 2x + 10)
= (3x + 20) = 35 years.
Correct Answer: 40
Explanation:
Let, father?s current age is A years.
Then, Man?s current age =
years.
+8=
2(2A+40) = 5(A+8)
A = 40
Correct Answer: 13:4
Explanation:
Let, Ages of Vijaya and Simran ? 1 year ago was 4A and A years correspondingly.
Then, [(4A + 1) + 6] ? [(A + 1) + 6] = 9
3A = 9 => A = 3
Needed Ratio = (4A + 1) : (A + 1) = 13 : 4
Correct Answer: 13 years
Explanation:
Given R + S + M + D = 76
=> R+7 : S+7 : M+7 : D+7 = 7:6:5:8
=> Let the ratio = x
=> M+7 = 5x
=> M = 5x-7
=> R = 7x-7
=> S = 6x-7
=> D = 8x-7
=> R + S + M + D = 76
=> 7x-7 + 6x-7 + 5x-7 + 8x-7 = 76
=> 26x - 28 = 76
=> 26x = 104
=> x = 4
=> Mahesh's present age = 5x-7 = 20 - 7 = 13 years.
Correct Answer: D is eldest & C is youngest
Explanation:
Given sum of present ages of A, B, C & D
A + B + C + D = 176
and also given that,
(A-4) : (B-4) : (C-4) : (D-4) = 11 : 9 : 6 : 14
Let the ratio = x
=> A-4 + B-4 + C-4 + D-4 = 11x + 9x + 6x + 14x
=> (A + B + C + D ) - 16 = 40x
=> 176 - 16 = 40x
=> x = 4
=> A = 44 + 4 = 48
=> B = 40
=> C = 28
=> D = 60
Therefore, from the above conclusions
D is eldest with 60 years and C is youngest with 28 years of ages.
Correct Answer: 38
Explanation:
Let Raju's age at the time of his marriage = X years
Then from given data
=> X + 8 = 6/5 X
X = 40.
Since got married 8 years ago, his present age = 48
His sister is 10 years younger => 48 - 10 = 38 years.
