- The sum of the present ages of Varun and Kapil is 42 yr. The ratio of their ages after 5 yr will be 15 : 11. What is the present age of Kapil?
Options- A. 17 yr
- B. 24 yr
- C. 25 yr
- D. 22 yr
- Correct Answer
- 17 yr
ExplanationLet the present age of Varun be M and present age of Kapil be N.
According to the questions,
M + N = 42 ...(i)
Again, according to the question, After 5 yr,
(M + 5)/(N + 5) = 15/11
? 11M + 55 = 15N + 75
? 11M - 15N = 20 ...(ii)
On solving Eqs. (i) and (ii),
? N = 17 yr
Hence, present age of Kapil = 17 yr - 1. The average age of 9 students and their teacher is 16 yr. The average age of the first four students is 19 yr and that of the last five is 10 yr. The teacher's age is?

Correct Answer: 34 yr
Explanation:
? Total age of 9 students and a teacher = 10 x 16 = 160 yr
Total age of first 4 students = 4 x 19 = 76 yr
and total age of last 5 students = 5 x 10 = 50 yr
? Age of teacher = 160 - 76 - 50 = 34 yr
Correct Answer: 11 yr
Explanation:
? Total age of father and mother = 35 x 2 = 70 yr
and total age of father, mother and son = 27 x 3 = 81 yr
&there4: Age of son = 81 -70 = 11 yr
Correct Answer: 26 s
Explanation:
Relative speed = (84 + 60) km/h = 144 km/h = 144 x (5/18) = 8 m/s
Distance covered in passing each other = 512 + 528 = 1040 m
? Required time = 1040/40 = 26 s
Correct Answer: None of these
Explanation:
Let the present age of Kunal be 3x year and the
present age of Ganesh = 5x years.
According to question ,
(5x + 4 ) - (3x + 4 ) = 12
? 2x = 12
? x = 6
? Present age of Kunal = 3x = 3 x 6 = 18 year
Correct Answer: 50 years
Explanation:
Let the present age of Pradhan be P years and his father's age = Q years.
From 1st condition,
(P + 6) = (Q + 6 ) x 3/7
? 7P + 42 = 3Q + 18
? 7P - 3Q = -24 ...(i)
From 2nd condition
(P - 10) / (Q - 10) = 1/5
? 5P - 50 = Q - 10
? 5P - Q = 40 .....(ii)
Multiplying equation (ii) by 3 and subtracting from (i) we get
P = 18, Q = 50
So present age of Pradhan's father = 50 years.
Correct Answer: 28 yr
Explanation:
Let age of Purvi = N yr
Then, age of Anil = 1.5N yr
According to the question,
(1.5N + 8)/(N + 8) = 25/18
? 27N + 144 = 25N + 200
? N = 56/2 = 28
Hence, present age of Purvi = 28 yr
Correct Answer: 32 yr
Explanation:
? Total age of Sachin and Saurabh = 36 x 2 = 27 yr
Let age of Saurabh = x yr
Then, age of Sachin = (x + 8) yr
According to the question, x + x + 8 = 72
? 2x = 64
? x = 32
Hence, Saurabh's present age = 32 yr
Correct Answer: 50 yr
Explanation:
Let age of Raman's daughter = N yr
Then, age of Raman's = 3N yr
and age of Raman's mother = (13/9) x 3N = 13N/3 yr
According to the question, N + 3N + 13N/3 = 125
? 3N + 9N + 13N = 125 x 3
? N = (125 x 3)/25 = 15
Hence, required difference = 13N/3 - N = 10N/3
= (10 x 15)/3 = 50 yr
Correct Answer: 30 yr
Explanation:
Let the present ages of Maya and Chhaya are 6N and 5N yr. respectively.
According to the question, After 15 yr,
(6N + 15) / (5N + 15) = 9/8
? 48N + 120 = 45N + 135
? N = 5
Hence, present age of Maya = 5 x 6 = 30 yr
