Correct Answer: 12 years
Explanation:
Given the average age of couple and their son = 40
=> Sum of age (H +W +S) = 40×3
Let the age of daughter in law at the time of marriage = D years
Now after 10 years,
(H + S +W) + 3×12 + D +12 + 10 = 38×5
178 + D = 190
D = 190 -178 = 12 years
Correct Answer: 32 years
Explanation:
Let Shilpa's present age is p years
According to question,
p = 4(x+4) ? 4(x?4)
p = 4x+16 ? 4x+16
p = 32
Shilpa's present age = 32 years
Rajeev is four years older than Shilpa
=> Shilpa's present age = Rajeev's age 4 years before.
=> Rajeev's age 4 years before = 32 years.
Correct Answer: 25 years
Explanation:
Let varun's age = x yrs.
From the given conditions,
x+1 = 2(x-12)
x = 25 years.
Correct Answer: 9 yrs
Explanation:
Let the present ages of A and B be 'x' and 'y' respectively
From the given data,
[(x-2) + (y-2)]/2 = 26
=> x+y = 56
But given the age of A, 5 years hence is 40 yrs => present age of A = 40 - 5 = 35 yrs
=> x = 35 => y = 56 - 35 = 21
=> Age of B = 21 yrs
Given B is 5 years younger to C,
=> Age of C = 21 + 5 = 26 yrs
=> Required Difference between ages of A and C = 35 - 26 = 9 yrs.
Correct Answer: 4 yrs
Explanation:
Let the present age of Deepa = 5p
Let the present age of Hyma = 6p
After four years their ratio = 6 : 7
=>
=> 35p + 28 = 36p + 24
=> p = 4
Therefore, the difference between their ages = 24 - 20 = 4 years.
Correct Answer: 2:3
Explanation:
Let number of boys = x , Let number of girls = y
Total numbers of students = x + y
(x + y) × 15.8 = 16.4x + 15.4y
0.6x = 0.4y
x/y = 0.4/0.6 = 2/3
Ratio of boys and girls in the class is 2:3
Correct Answer: 9, 27, 21
Explanation:
Let Anushka age = X
Charu latha 12 yrs older than Anushka so Charu latha age = x+12
Kajal is thrice as old as Anushka so Kajal age = 3x
The ages of Anushka, Kajal and Charu latha together are 57 years
i.e x + (x+12) + 3x = 57
=> 5x = 45
:- x = 9
Anushka age = 9
Kajal age = 3x = 27
Charu latha age = x+12 = 21
Correct Answer: 10 years
Explanation:
Let the age of the daughter today be ?x? years.
Mother?s age today = 3x years
After 10 years, we have
3x + 10 = 2(x + 10)
x = 10 years.
Correct Answer: 10
Explanation:
Raj Tarun's age = 0 when he was born.
Then, given his brother is 6 years old.
Then his father is 6 + 32 = 38 when Raj Tarun was born
And his mother is 3 years yonger than his father => so his mother was 35 years old when Raj Tarun was born
and his sister is 25 year younger than his mother
so Raj Tarun's sister was 10 years old when Raj Tarun was born.
Correct Answer: 40 yrs
Explanation:
Let the mother's present age be x years.
Then, the person's present age = 2/5 x years.
(2x/5 + 8) = 1/2 (x + 8)
2(2x + 40) = 5(x + 8) => x = 40.
