Correct Answer: None of these
Explanation:
Let the present age of A and B be x and y years respectively
From 1st condition
(x - 1) / (y -1) = 3/4
? 4x - 4 = 3y - 3
? 4x - 3y = 1 ... (i)
From 2nd condition,
(x + 1) / (y + 1) = 5/6
? 6x + 6 = 5y + 5
? 6x - 5y = -1 ...(ii)
Multiplying equation (i) by 3 and equation (ii) by 2 and subtract
y = 5
? Present age of B = 5 years
Correct Answer: 10 years
Explanation:
Let the present age of father and son be x and y years respectively.
From 1st condition,
(x - 4) = 5(y- 4)
? x - 4 = 5y - 20
? x - 5y = -16 .....(i)
From 2nd condition,
? x + y = 44 ...(ii)
From equation (i) and (ii)
-6y = -60
? y = 10
? Present age of son = 10 years
Correct Answer: 12 years
Explanation:
Let the present age of Ramesh be 3x years and the present age of jayesh = 2x years.
According to question, (3x - 4) = (2x - 4) + 6
? 3x - 4 = 2x - 4 + 6
? 3x - 4 = 2x + 2
? 3x - 2x = 2 + 4
? x = 6
? Present age of Jayesh = 2x = 12 years
Correct Answer: x - 5
Explanation:
Let the Rahul's present age is 'A' years. Then Ritu's present age is (A + 8)

(A + 8) - 3 = x
? A = (x - 5) years
Correct Answer: 39 year
Explanation:
Let B's present age be x years then A's present age be (x + 9) years
As per the given condition

Explanation:
Let the present age of man be x years and the age of his son be y years.
From 1st condition,
x = 5y .....(i)
From 2nd condition ,
(x + 4 ) + (y + 4) = 56
? x + y + 8 = 56
? x + y = 48 ... (ii)
Putting x = 5y in equation (ii)
5y + y = 48
? 6y = 48
? y = 8
? Age of son = 8 years
Correct Answer: 83 years

Here , x = 50 m , y = 65 m , u = 18 m/s and v = 17 m/s
? Required time = (50 + 65)/(18 - 17) = 115/ 1 = 115 s
Correct Answer: 26 yr
