Ratio of the ages of Mahesh and Nilesh is 5 : x. Mahesh is 18 years younger to Ramesh. After nine years Ramesh will be 47 years old. If the difference between the ages of Mahesh and Nilesh is same as the age of Ramesh, what is the value of x ?
Options- A. 11.8
- B. 12.9
- C. 13.7
- D. 14.5
- Correct Answer
- 14.5
ExplanationLet 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 - 1. Raju got married 8years ago. His present age is 6/5 times his age at the time of his marriage Raju's sister was 10years younger to him at the time of his marriage. The present age of Raju's sister is ?

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: 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: 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: 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

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.
