Rajan's present age is three times his daughter's and nine-thirteenth of his mother's present age. The sum of the present ages of all three of them is 125 years. What is the difference between the present ages of Rajan's daughter and Rajan's mather ?
Options- A. 32 years
- B. 48 years
- C. 62 years
- D. 50 years
- Correct Answer
- 50 years
ExplanationLet Rajan's present age be 'x' years.
=> Then his daughter's present age is = x/3 years.
His mother's present age = 13x/9 years
Now, according to the question,
x + x/3 + 13x/9 = 125
=> x = 125x9/25 = 45
Therefore, required difference = 13x/9 - x/3 = 13x - 3x/9 = 10x/9
=> 10 x 45/9 = 50 years. - 1. Rajitha's present age is three years less than twice her age 12 years ago. Also, the ratio of Raj's present age to Rajitha's present age is 4:9. What will be Raj's age after 5 years ?

Correct Answer: 17 yrs
Explanation:
Let the present age of Raj and Rajitha be 4x and 9x.
Then, according to question,
9x = 2(9x-12)-3 => 9x = 27 => x = 3
Raj's present age = 4x = 12yrs,
After 5 years Raj's age will be 12 + 5 = 17 yrs.
Correct Answer: E = 4 & Y = 2
Explanation:
Let the the age of the elder boy = E
Let the the age of the younger boy = Y
Given that Y = cube root of EY
=>
= EY => E =
.....(1)
By the condition of number replacement the age of the father is YE
The Mother's age = EY/2
But she is 3 years less than father => EY/2 + 3 = YE
2YE = EY + 6 ......(2)
Then now from the given options we can identify which satisfies the all the conditions.
Here Y =2 and E = 4 satisfies all the conditions.
Correct Answer: 84 years
Explanation:
Let the age of ruler is x so that of son = x/2 (given)
Now according to the given condition
(x/6) + (x/12) + (x/7) + 5 + (x/2) + 4 = x
=> x = 84
Correct Answer: 72 years
Explanation:
Let us consider Karthik as K1 and Kalyan as K2.
Given
and K2 - (K1 + 5) = 3
K2 - K1 = 8
K2 = 8 + K1
Now,
=> K1 = 32 years
Therefore K2 = 40 years.
K1 + K2 = 72 years.
Correct Answer: 70 years
Explanation:
Let Kumar?s present age be "x" years and Sailesh?s present age be "y" years.
Then, according to the first condition,
x - 10 = 3(y - 10) => x - 3y = - 20 ........(1)
Now, Kumar?s age after 10 years = (x + 10) years.
Sailesh?s age after 10 years = (y + 10) years.
(x + 10) = 2 (y + 10) => x - 2y = 10 ......(2)
Solving (1) and (2),
we get x = 70 and y = 30
Kumar?s present age = 70 years and Sailesh?s present age = 30 years.

Hence Siya's age = 6 yrs
=> The age difference = 24 - 6 = 18 yrs.
