Correct Answer: None of these
Explanation:
Let the respective ages of Yogesh, Prakash, and Sameer 10 years's ago be 2x, 3x and 4 x years.
? Present age of Yogesh = (2x + 10 ) years
? Present age of Prakash = (3x + 10 ) years
? Present age of sameer = (4x + 10) years
According to question,
(2x + 10) + (3x + 10) + (4x + 10 ) = 93
? 9x + 30 = 93
? 9x = 63
? x = 7
? Present age of Sameer = 4x + 10 = 28 + 10 = 38 years .
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 = (x - 5) years
Correct Answer: 83 years
Explanation:
Let the present age of father be x years, Then the present age of son = (x - 25) years .
According to to question,
x - 4 = 45
? x = 45 + 4
? x = 49
? Age of son = 49 - 25 = 24 years
? Age of son after five years = 24 + 5 = 29 years
? Age of father after five years = 49 + 5= 54 years
Total age of both = 29 + 54= 83 years
Correct Answer: 115 s
Explanation:
According to the formula.
Required time = (x + y)/(u - v)
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
Explanation:
? Age of Raju when he got the job = 17 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 23 yr
? Age of Raju at the time of marriage = 23 + 3 = 26 yr

Let age of daughter = N yr
? Age of Meena = 8N yr
Accounting to the question, (8N + 8)/(N + 8) = 10/3
? 24N + 24 = 10N + 80
? 14N = 56
? N = 4
Hence, Meena's present age = 4 x 8 = 32 yr
Correct Answer: 23 yr
Explanation:
Let the ages of A and B before 7 yr were 3k yr and 4k yr, respectively.
? Present age of A = 3k + 7
and present age of B = 4k + 7
Now, according to the question,
? (3k + 7 + 9) / (4k + 7 + 9) = 7/8
? 24k + 128 = 28k + 112
? 4k = 16
? k = 4
Hence, present age of B = 4 x 4 + 7
= 16 + 7 = 23 yr
