The present ages of three persons in proportions 4 : 7 : 9. Eight years ago, the sum of their ages was 56. Find their present ages (in years).

Detailed Solution for Test: Problem on Ages - Question 1

Let their present ages be 4x, 7x and 9x years respectively.
Then, (4x - 8) + (7x - 8) + (9x - 8) = 56
⇒ 20x = 80
⇒ x = 4.
Their present ages are 4x = 16 years, 7x = 28 years and 9x = 36 years respectively.

Detailed Solution for Test: Problem on Ages - Question 2

Mother's age when Ayesha's brother was born = 36 years.

Test: Problem on Ages - Question 4
Save

Q is as much younger than R as he is older than T. If the sum of the ages of R and T is 50 years, what is definitely the difference between R and Q's age?
Detailed Solution for Test: Problem on Ages - Question 4

Given that:
1. The difference of age b/w R and Q = The difference of age b/w Q and T.
2. Sum of age of R and T is 50 i.e. (R + T) = 50.
R - Q = Q - T
(R + T) = 2Q
Now given that, (R + T) = 50
So, 50 = 2Q and therefore Q = 25.

The age of father 10 years ago was thrice the age of his son. Ten years hence, father's age will be twice that of his son. The ratio of their present ages is:
Detailed Solution for Test: Problem on Ages - Question 5

Let the ages of father and son 10 years ago be 3x and x years respectively.
Then, (3x + 10) + 10 = 2[(x + 10) + 10]
⇒ 3x + 20 = 2x + 40
⇒ x = 20.
Required ratio = (3x + 10) : (x + 10) = 70 : 30 = 7 : 3.

Test: Problem on Ages - Question 6
Save

Sachin is younger than Rahul by 7 years. If their ages are in the respective ratio of 7 : 9, how old is Sachin?
Detailed Solution for Test: Problem on Ages - Question 6

Let Rahul's age be x years.
Then, Sachin's age = (x - 7) years.

⇒ 9x - 63 = 7x
⇒ 2x = 63
⇒ x = 31.5
Hence, Sachin's age = (x - 7) = 24.5 years.

Detailed Solution for Test: Problem on Ages - Question 8

Let the present ages of son and father be x and (60 - x) years respectively.
Then, (60 - x) - 6 = 5(x - 6)
⇒ 54 - x = 5x - 30
⇒ 6x = 84
⇒ x = 14.
∴ Son's age after 6 years = (x + 6) = 20 years.

Test: Problem on Ages - Question 9

Detailed Solution for Test: Problem on Ages - Question 10

Let the son's present age be x years. Then, man's present age = (x + 24) years.

⇒ x + 26 = 2x + 4
⇒ x = 22.

Present ages of Sameer and Anand are in the ratio of 5 : 4 respectively. Three years hence, the ratio of their ages will become 11 : 9 respectively. What is Anand's present age in years?
Detailed Solution for Test: Problem on Ages - Question 11

Let the present ages of Sameer and Anand be 5x years and 4x years respectively.

⇒ 9(5x + 3) = 11(4x + 3)

⇒ 45x + 27 = 44x + 33

⇒ 45x - 44x = 33 - 27

⇒ x = 6.

∴ Anand's present age = 4x = 24 years.

Save

A is two years older than B who is twice as old as C. If the total of the ages of A, B and C be 27, then how old is B?
Detailed Solution for Test: Problem on Ages - Question 12

Let C's age be x years. Then, B's age = 2x years. A's age = (2x + 2) years.

⇒ 5x = 25
⇒ x = 5.

Detailed Solution for Test: Problem on Ages - Question 13

Let the son's present age be x years. Then, (38 - x) = x

Detailed Solution for Test: Problem on Ages - Question 14

Let the ages of children be x, (x + 3), (x + 6), (x + 9) and (x + 12) years.
Then, x + (x + 3) + (x + 6) + (x + 9) + (x + 12) = 50
⇒ 5x = 20
⇒ x = 4.
∴ Age of the youngest child = x = 4 years.
