Correct Answer: 8 years
Explanation:
Let Rita's age of 2 years ago be x years.
? Pushpa's present age = 2x years
? 2x - (x + 2) = 2
? x = 4
? Pushpa's present age = 8 years.
Correct Answer: 20 years
Explanation:
Let Chandravati's age 10 years ago be x years.
? mothere's age 10 years ago = 4x years
From Question 2(x + 20) = (4x + 20)
? x = 10
? Present age of Chandravati = (x + 10) = 20 years
Correct Answer: 35 years
Explanation:
Let the present ages of mother and her daughter are ( x + 25 ) and x years respectively ; then 6( x - 5 ) = x + 25 - 5 ? 6x - 30 = x + 20 ? 5x = 50 ? x = 10
Hence, the age of the mother = 10 + 25 = 35 years
Correct Answer: 10 years
Explanation:
Let us assume x years ago, the ratio of their ages was 3 : 5, then
According to question,
(40 - x)/(60 - x) = 3/5
? (40 - x) 5 = 3 (60 - x)
? 200 - 5x = 180 - 3x
? 2x = 20
? x = 10 years
Correct Answer: 27 yr
Explanation:
Let the ages of A and B 10 yr before were 13k yr and 17k yr, respectively.
Then, present age of A = 13k + 10
and present age of B = 17k + 10
According to the question,
? (13k + 10 + 17) / (17k + 10 + 17) = 10/11
? (13k + 27) / (17k + 27) = 10/11
? 143k + 297 = 170k + 270
? 27k = 27
? k = 1
Hence, present age of B = 17 x 1 + 10 = 27 yr
Correct Answer: 32 years
Explanation:
Let the son's be x years, then father's age = 4x years

Correct Answer: 36 years, 9 years
Explanation:
Let the present age of the father and son be x years and (45 - x)years respectively.
Then, (x - 5)(45 - x - 5) = 4(x - 5)
? -x2 + 41x - 180 = 0
? (x - 5)(x - 36) = 0
? x = 36
? The present ages of father and son are 36 years and 9 years respectively.
