- Question
Sum of the ages of Rajesh, Suresh, Mahesh and Dinesh is 76 years. 7 years hence, their age ratio is 7:6:5:8. Find Mahesh?s present age ?
Options- A. 17 years
- B. 13 years
- C. 14 years
- D. 16 years
- Correct Answer
- 13 years
ExplanationGiven 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: 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: 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: 68

when my age is 24, my mothers age is double of my age
=> 48 yrs is my mothers age
=> Difference is 48 - 24 = 24 years.

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: 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.
Correct Answer: 14.5
Explanation:
Let the present ages of Mahesh, Nilesh and Ramesh be k, l and m respectively.
k/l = 5/x ------ (1)
k = m - 18 ------ (2)
m + 9 = 47 ------ (3)
k - l = m ----- (4)
(3) => m = 47 - 9 = 38 years
(2) => k = 38 -18 = 20 years
(1) => 20/l = 5/x => l = 4x
(4) => 4x - 20 = 38
=> 4x = 58 => x = 14.5
Correct Answer: 8:7
Correct Answer: 40 yrs
Explanation:
Let the present ages of Ajay and Vijay be 'A' and 'V' years respectively.
=> A - 8 = 4/3 (V - 8) and A + 8 = 6/5 (V + 8)
=> 3/4(A - 8) = V - 8 and 5/6(A + 8) = V + 8
V = 3/4 (A - 8) + 8 = 5/6 (A + 8) - 8
=> 3/4 A - 6 + 8 = 5/6 A + 20/3 - 8
=> 10 - 20/3 = 10/12 A - 9/12 A
=> 10/3 = A/12 => A = 40.
