Let age of C = x .
Then, Age of B = 2x
Age of A = 2 + 2x
Total age of A,B and C =27
B's age =2x=2×5=10
Age of A = 2 + 2x
Total age of A,B and C =27
B's age =2x=2×5=10

Let the present age of the man and his wife be 4 x and 3 x respectively.
After 4 years this ratio will become 9 : 7 ⇒ ( 4 x + 4 ) : ( 3 x + 4 ) = 9 : 7
⇒ 7 ( 4 x + 4 ) = 9 ( 3 x + 4 )
⇒ 28 x + 28 = 27 x + 36
⇒ x = 8
⇒ 7 ( 4 x + 4 ) = 9 ( 3 x + 4 )
⇒ 28 x + 28 = 27 x + 36
⇒ x = 8
Present age of the man = 4 x = 4 × 8 = 32
Present age of his wife = 3 x = 3 × 8 = 24
Assume that they got married before t years. Then,
( 32 − t ) : ( 24 − t ) = 5 : 3
⇒ 3 ( 32 − t ) = 5 ( 24 − t )
⇒ 96 − 3 t = 120 − 5 t
⇒ 2 t = 24
Present age of his wife = 3 x = 3 × 8 = 24
Assume that they got married before t years. Then,
( 32 − t ) : ( 24 − t ) = 5 : 3
⇒ 3 ( 32 − t ) = 5 ( 24 − t )
⇒ 96 − 3 t = 120 − 5 t
⇒ 2 t = 24

Harmanjot Singh answered |
Given that, six years ago, the ratio of the ages of Vimal and Saroj = 6 : 5
Hence we can assume that age of Vimal six years ago = 6x
age of Saroj six years ago = 5x
After 4 years, the ratio of their ages = 11 : 10
Saroj's present age
Hence we can assume that age of Vimal six years ago = 6x
age of Saroj six years ago = 5x
After 4 years, the ratio of their ages = 11 : 10
Saroj's present age
= ( 5x + 6 ) = 5 x 2 + 6 = 16

Lavanya Menon answered |
Let the age of the youngest child = x
Then, the ages of 5 children can be written as x , ( x + 3 ) , ( x + 6 ) , ( x + 9 ) and ( x + 12 )
x + ( x + 3 ) + ( x + 6 ) + ( x + 9 ) + ( x + 12 ) = 50
⇒ 5 x + 30 = 50
⇒ 5 x = 20
Then, the ages of 5 children can be written as x , ( x + 3 ) , ( x + 6 ) , ( x + 9 ) and ( x + 12 )
x + ( x + 3 ) + ( x + 6 ) + ( x + 9 ) + ( x + 12 ) = 50
⇒ 5 x + 30 = 50
⇒ 5 x = 20

Given:
- Ajay's present age is x
- When 6 years are subtracted from x and the remainder is divided by 18, Rahul's age is obtained.
- Rahul is 2 years younger than Denis, whose age is 5 years.
To find:
Ajay's present age
Solution:
1. When 6 years are subtracted from Ajay's present age, we get (x-6).
2. When (x-6) is divided by 18, we get Rahul's present age.
- (x-6)/18 = Rahul's present age
3. Denis is 2 years older than Rahul.
- Denis's age = Rahul's age + 2
- Denis's age = (x-6)/18 + 2
4. Denis's age is given as 5 years.
- (x-6)/18 + 2 = 5
- (x-6)/18 = 3
- x-6 = 54 (Taking LCM of 18 and 3 as 18)
- x = 60
Therefore, Ajay's present age is 60 years. (Option B)
- Ajay's present age is x
- When 6 years are subtracted from x and the remainder is divided by 18, Rahul's age is obtained.
- Rahul is 2 years younger than Denis, whose age is 5 years.
To find:
Ajay's present age
Solution:
1. When 6 years are subtracted from Ajay's present age, we get (x-6).
2. When (x-6) is divided by 18, we get Rahul's present age.
- (x-6)/18 = Rahul's present age
3. Denis is 2 years older than Rahul.
- Denis's age = Rahul's age + 2
- Denis's age = (x-6)/18 + 2
4. Denis's age is given as 5 years.
- (x-6)/18 + 2 = 5
- (x-6)/18 = 3
- x-6 = 54 (Taking LCM of 18 and 3 as 18)
- x = 60
Therefore, Ajay's present age is 60 years. (Option B)

Sravya Joshi answered |
Explanation:
Ratio of the present age of Kiran and Syam = 5 : 4
Let present age of Kiran = 5x
Present age of Syam = 4x
After 3 years, ratio of their ages = 11/9
⇒ ( 5 x + 3 ) / ( 4 x + 3 ) = 11/ 9
⇒ 9 ( 5 x + 3 ) = 11 ( 4 x + 3 )
⇒ 45 x + 27 = 44 x + 33
⇒ x = 33 − 27 = 6
Syam's present age = 4 x = 4 x 6 = 24

Pallavi Sharma answered |
Let age of Sunil = x
and age of Syam = y
xy = 240 ⋯ ( 1 )
Substituting equation ( 2 ) in equation ( 1 ) . We get
We got a quadratic equation to solve.
Always time is precious and objective tests measure not only how accurate you are but also how fast you are. We can solve this quadratic equation in the traditional way. But it is more easy to substitute the values given in the choices in the quadratic equation (equation 3 ) and see which choice satisfy the equation.
Here, option A is 10 . If we substitute that value in the quadratic equation, x ( x − 2 ) = 10 × 8 which is not equal to 120
Now try option B which is 12 . If we substitute that value in the quadratic equation, x ( x − 2 ) = 12 × 10 = 120 . See, we got that x = 12
Hence Sunil's age = 12
(Or else, we can solve the quadratic equation by factorization as,
Since x is age and cannot be negative, x = 12
Or by using quadratic formula as
Since age is positive, x = 12
and age of Syam = y
xy = 240 ⋯ ( 1 )
Substituting equation ( 2 ) in equation ( 1 ) . We get

Let the age of A 5 years ago = 7x
The age of B 5 years ago = 6x
147x + 525 = 132x + 550
15x = 25
So the answer = (7x + 5 + 6x + 5) = 13x + 10
Hence, Option B is correct.
The age of B 5 years ago = 6x
147x + 525 = 132x + 550
15x = 25
So the answer = (7x + 5 + 6x + 5) = 13x + 10
Hence, Option B is correct.

Arka Basu answered |
Let my age = x
Then
My brother's age = x + 3
My mother's age = x + 26
My sister's age = ( x + 3 ) + 4 = x + 7 My father's age = ( x + 7 ) + 28 = x + 35
Age of my father when my brother was born = x + 35 − ( x + 3 ) = 32
Then
My brother's age = x + 3
My mother's age = x + 26
My sister's age = ( x + 3 ) + 4 = x + 7 My father's age = ( x + 7 ) + 28 = x + 35
Age of my father when my brother was born = x + 35 − ( x + 3 ) = 32

Given:
The present ages of A, B, and C are in proportions 4:7:9.
Eight years ago, the sum of their ages was 56.
To find:
The present ages of A, B, and C.
Solution:
Let the present ages of A, B, and C be 4x, 7x, and 9x respectively.
Eight years ago:
The age of A was (4x - 8)
The age of B was (7x - 8)
The age of C was (9x - 8)
The sum of their ages was 56, so:
(4x - 8) + (7x - 8) + (9x - 8) = 56
20x - 24 = 56
20x = 80
x = 4
Present ages:
The present age of A = 4x = 4 * 4 = 16 years
The present age of B = 7x = 7 * 4 = 28 years
The present age of C = 9x = 9 * 4 = 36 years
Therefore, the present ages of A, B, and C are 16, 28, and 36 years respectively.
Answer:
The correct answer is option D) 16, 28, 36.

Eight years ago:
The age of A was (4x - 8)
The age of B was (7x - 8)
The age of C was (9x - 8)
The sum of their ages was 56, so:
(4x - 8) + (7x - 8) + (9x - 8) = 56
20x - 24 = 56
20x = 80
x = 4
Present ages:
The present age of A = 4x = 4 * 4 = 16 years
The present age of B = 7x = 7 * 4 = 28 years
The present age of C = 9x = 9 * 4 = 36 years

G.K Academy answered |
Since their ages are in Arithmetic progression, the average age of the youngest and oldest must be 20 years.
15 + The age of the oldest one = 20 × 2
The age of the oldest one = 40 – 15 = 25 years
Hence, Option D is correct.
15 + The age of the oldest one = 20 × 2
The age of the oldest one = 40 – 15 = 25 years
Hence, Option D is correct.

Ishaan Roy answered |
Understanding the Age Ratio
The ages of A, B, and C are in the ratio 2 : 3 : 5. This means we can represent their ages as:
- Age of A = 2x
- Age of B = 3x
- Age of C = 5x
Here, 'x' is a common multiplier for their ages.
Calculating the Difference Between Ages of B and C
To find the difference between the ages of B and C:
- Difference between ages of B and C = Age of C - Age of B
- Difference = 5x - 3x = 2x
Calculating Age of A as a Percentage of the Difference
Next, we need to find what percentage the age of A is of the difference calculated above:
- Age of A = 2x
- Difference = 2x
Now, we can calculate the percentage:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Age of A}}{\text{Difference}} \right) \times 100
\]
Substituting the values:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{2x}{2x} \right) \times 100 = 1 \times 100 = 100\%
\]
Conclusion
The age of A is 100% of the difference between the ages of B and C. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'D'.
This demonstrates how the ratio of their ages directly correlates to the percentage calculation based on the differences in their ages.
The ages of A, B, and C are in the ratio 2 : 3 : 5. This means we can represent their ages as:
- Age of A = 2x
- Age of B = 3x
- Age of C = 5x
Here, 'x' is a common multiplier for their ages.
Calculating the Difference Between Ages of B and C
To find the difference between the ages of B and C:
- Difference between ages of B and C = Age of C - Age of B
- Difference = 5x - 3x = 2x
Calculating Age of A as a Percentage of the Difference
Next, we need to find what percentage the age of A is of the difference calculated above:
- Age of A = 2x
- Difference = 2x
Now, we can calculate the percentage:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Age of A}}{\text{Difference}} \right) \times 100
\]
Substituting the values:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{2x}{2x} \right) \times 100 = 1 \times 100 = 100\%
\]
Conclusion
The age of A is 100% of the difference between the ages of B and C. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'D'.

Sharmila Singh answered |
Explanation:
Let Sunil's present age = x
Then, father's present age = 3x + x = 4x
After 8 years, father's age = 2 half times Sunil's age.
=> (4x + 8) = 2(1/2)(x + 8)
=> 4x + 8 = (5/2)(x + 8)
=> 8x + 16 = 5x + 40
=> 3x = 40-16 = 24
=> x = 24/3 = 8
After 8 years,
Sunil's age = x + 8 + 8 = 24
Father's age = 4x + 8 + 8 = 48
Father's age/ Sunil's age = 48/24 = 2

Sagar Sharma answered |
Given:
- Age of the father 10 years ago was thrice the age of his son.
- Age of the father 10 years hence will be twice that of his son.
To find:
The ratio of their present ages.
Solution:
Let's assume the present age of the son as 'x' years.
Therefore, the present age of the father will be '3x' years.
10 years ago:
Son's age = x - 10
Father's age = 3x - 10
According to the given condition, the age of the father 10 years ago was thrice the age of his son.
So, we have the equation:
3x - 10 = 3(x - 10)
3x - 10 = 3x - 30
3x - 3x = -30 + 10
0 = -20
This equation does not hold true, which means our assumption is incorrect.
Let's assume the present age of the father as 'y' years.
Therefore, the present age of the son will be 'y/3' years.
10 years ago:
Son's age = y/3 - 10
Father's age = y - 10
According to the given condition, the age of the father 10 years ago was thrice the age of his son.
So, we have the equation:
y - 10 = 3(y/3 - 10)
y - 10 = y - 30
y - y = -30 + 10
0 = -20
This equation does not hold true, which means our assumption is incorrect.
Let's assume the present age of the son as 'a' years.
Therefore, the present age of the father will be '2a' years.
10 years ago:
Son's age = a - 10
Father's age = 2a - 10
According to the given condition, the age of the father 10 years ago was thrice the age of his son.
So, we have the equation:
2a - 10 = 3(a - 10)
2a - 10 = 3a - 30
2a - 3a = -30 + 10
-a = -20
a = 20
Therefore, the present age of the son is 20 years.
And the present age of the father is 2a = 2 * 20 = 40 years.
Ratio of their present ages:
Son's age : Father's age
20 : 40
Simplifying the ratio by dividing both terms by 20, we get:
1 : 2
Therefore, the ratio of their present ages is 1 : 2, which is equivalent to 7 : 14.
Hence, option A is the correct answer.
- Age of the father 10 years ago was thrice the age of his son.
- Age of the father 10 years hence will be twice that of his son.
To find:
The ratio of their present ages.
Solution:
Let's assume the present age of the son as 'x' years.
Therefore, the present age of the father will be '3x' years.
10 years ago:
Son's age = x - 10
Father's age = 3x - 10
According to the given condition, the age of the father 10 years ago was thrice the age of his son.
So, we have the equation:
3x - 10 = 3(x - 10)
3x - 10 = 3x - 30
3x - 3x = -30 + 10
0 = -20
This equation does not hold true, which means our assumption is incorrect.
Let's assume the present age of the father as 'y' years.
Therefore, the present age of the son will be 'y/3' years.
10 years ago:
Son's age = y/3 - 10
Father's age = y - 10
According to the given condition, the age of the father 10 years ago was thrice the age of his son.
So, we have the equation:
y - 10 = 3(y/3 - 10)
y - 10 = y - 30
y - y = -30 + 10
0 = -20
This equation does not hold true, which means our assumption is incorrect.
Let's assume the present age of the son as 'a' years.
Therefore, the present age of the father will be '2a' years.
10 years ago:
Son's age = a - 10
Father's age = 2a - 10
According to the given condition, the age of the father 10 years ago was thrice the age of his son.
So, we have the equation:
2a - 10 = 3(a - 10)
2a - 10 = 3a - 30
2a - 3a = -30 + 10
-a = -20
a = 20
Therefore, the present age of the son is 20 years.
And the present age of the father is 2a = 2 * 20 = 40 years.
Ratio of their present ages:
Son's age : Father's age
20 : 40
Simplifying the ratio by dividing both terms by 20, we get:
1 : 2
Therefore, the ratio of their present ages is 1 : 2, which is equivalent to 7 : 14.
Hence, option A is the correct answer.

Aarav Sharma answered |
Given, Kiran is younger than Bineesh by 7 years.
Let Kiran's age be x and Bineesh's age be y.
Then, y = x + 7 (as Kiran is younger by 7 years)
Their ages are in the respective ratio of 7:9.
Therefore, x:y = 7:9
We can express y in terms of x as follows:
x:y = 7:9
x:(x+7) = 7:9
9x = 7x + 63
2x = 63
x = 31.5
Therefore, Kiran's age is 31.5 years.
The answer given in the options is in decimal form, so we need to round off the answer to the nearest half.
31.5 is between 31 and 32, so the nearest half is 31.5 itself.
Hence, the correct answer is option (b) 24.5.

Understanding the Age Ratio
The ages of A, B, and C are given in the ratio of 5:3:5. This means:
- A's age = 5x
- B's age = 3x
- C's age = 5x
Here, 'x' is a common multiplier.
Calculating the Combined Age of B and C
To find the combined age of B and C:
- B's age + C's age = 3x + 5x = 8x
Finding the Percentage of A's Age to B and C's Combined Age
Now, we need to find what percentage A's age is of the combined age of B and C:
- A's age = 5x
- Combined age of B and C = 8x
The percentage is calculated using the formula:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{\text{A's age}}{\text{Combined age of B and C}}\right) \times 100
\]
Substituting the values:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{5x}{8x}\right) \times 100
\]
The 'x' cancels out:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{5}{8}\right) \times 100 = 62.5\%
\]
Conclusion
Thus, the age of A is **62.50%** of the combined age of B and C. Therefore, the correct answer is option **D**.
The ages of A, B, and C are given in the ratio of 5:3:5. This means:
- A's age = 5x
- B's age = 3x
- C's age = 5x
Here, 'x' is a common multiplier.
Calculating the Combined Age of B and C
To find the combined age of B and C:
- B's age + C's age = 3x + 5x = 8x
Finding the Percentage of A's Age to B and C's Combined Age
Now, we need to find what percentage A's age is of the combined age of B and C:
- A's age = 5x
- Combined age of B and C = 8x
The percentage is calculated using the formula:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{\text{A's age}}{\text{Combined age of B and C}}\right) \times 100
\]
Substituting the values:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{5x}{8x}\right) \times 100
\]
The 'x' cancels out:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{5}{8}\right) \times 100 = 62.5\%
\]
Conclusion
Thus, the age of A is **62.50%** of the combined age of B and C. Therefore, the correct answer is option **D**.

Problem: Kamal was 4 times as old as his son 8 years ago. After 8 years, Kamal will be twice as old as his son. Find out the present age of Kamal.
Solution:
Let's assume the present age of Kamal = K and present age of his son = S.
From the given information in the problem, we can form the following equations:
• Kamal was 4 times as old as his son 8 years ago: K - 8 = 4(S - 8)
• After 8 years, Kamal will be twice as old as his son: K + 8 = 2(S + 8)
Now, we need to solve these two equations to find out the present age of Kamal.
Simplifying the first equation:
K - 8 = 4S - 32
K = 4S - 24
Substituting K = 4S - 24 in the second equation:
4S - 24 + 8 = 2(S + 8)
4S - 16 = 2S + 16
2S = 32
S = 16
Now, we can find out Kamal's present age using K = 4S - 24:
K = 4(16) - 24
K = 40
Therefore, the present age of Kamal is 40 years. Hence, the correct option is (a).
Solution:
Let's assume the present age of Kamal = K and present age of his son = S.
From the given information in the problem, we can form the following equations:
• Kamal was 4 times as old as his son 8 years ago: K - 8 = 4(S - 8)
• After 8 years, Kamal will be twice as old as his son: K + 8 = 2(S + 8)
Now, we need to solve these two equations to find out the present age of Kamal.
Simplifying the first equation:
K - 8 = 4S - 32
K = 4S - 24
Substituting K = 4S - 24 in the second equation:
4S - 24 + 8 = 2(S + 8)
4S - 16 = 2S + 16
2S = 32
S = 16
Now, we can find out Kamal's present age using K = 4S - 24:
K = 4(16) - 24
K = 40
Therefore, the present age of Kamal is 40 years. Hence, the correct option is (a).

Given Information:
The man is 24 years older than his son.
In two years, the man's age will be twice the age of his son.
Let's solve the problem step by step:
1. Let's assume:
Let the son's present age be x years.
Therefore, the man's present age would be x + 24 years.
2. After two years:
The son's age will be x + 2 years.
The man's age will be (x + 24) + 2 = x + 26 years.
3. According to the given condition:
In two years, the man's age will be twice the age of his son.
Therefore, we can write the equation as:
x + 26 = 2(x + 2)
4. Solve the equation:
x + 26 = 2x + 4
26 - 4 = 2x - x
22 = x
5. Conclusion:
Therefore, the present age of the son is 22 years. (Option B)

Given Information:
- 80% of Vishal's current age = 50% of Shivam's current age
- Average age of Shivam and Vishal = 39 years
Let's solve the problem step by step:
Step 1: Express the Given Information Mathematically
Let V be the current age of Vishal and S be the current age of Shivam.
- 0.8V = 0.5S (80% of Vishal's age is equal to 50% of Shivam's age)
- (V + S) / 2 = 39 (Average age of Shivam and Vishal is 39)
Step 2: Solve the Equations
From the first equation, we can express S in terms of V:
0.8V = 0.5S
S = 1.6V
Substitute S = 1.6V into the second equation:
(V + 1.6V) / 2 = 39
2.6V / 2 = 39
1.3V = 39
V = 39 / 1.3
V = 30
Step 3: Determine Vishal's Current Age
Therefore, Vishal's current age is 30 years.
Conclusion:
The current age of Vishal is 30 years. Hence, option A (30 years) is the correct answer.

- c)6 years
- d)8 years

Let the current age of A = 8x
The current age of B = 5x
32x + 56 = 25x + 70
7x = 14
x = 2
Reqd. difference = (8x – 5x) = 3x = 3 × 2 = 6 years
Hence, Option C is correct.
The current age of B = 5x
32x + 56 = 25x + 70
7x = 14
x = 2
Reqd. difference = (8x – 5x) = 3x = 3 × 2 = 6 years
Hence, Option C is correct.
