The age of Rohit is 25% more than the age of Sachin. If the sum of their ages is 45 years, what is the difference between their ages?

Detailed Solution: Question 2

To find the difference between Rohit and Sachin's ages:

- Let's say Sachin's age is x years.
- Rohit's age is 25% more, which is 1.25x.
- Given, their total age is 45 years: x + 1.25x = 45.
- 2.25x = 45
- x = 20
there difference 1.25x - x = 0.25x = 0.25 x 20 = 5

If the age of Mohit is 250% more than the age of Jeenat and the sum of their ages is 54 years, what is the age of Jeenat?

Detailed Solution: Question 4

Let the age of Jeenat be xxx years.

Since Mohit's age is 250% more than Jeenat's, Mohit's age will be:

x+2.5x=3.5x

The sum of their ages is 54 years, so:

x+3.5x=54

Simplifying:

4.5x=54

Thus, Jeenat's age is 12 years.

The correct answer is:

3. 12 years.

Test: Problems on Ages - 2 - Question 5

The average age of A, B, C and D is 20 years and their ages are in Arithmetic progression. If the youngest among them is 15 years old, what is the age of the oldest one?

Detailed Solution: Question 5

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.

Hence, Option D is correct.

Test: Problems on Ages - 2 - Question 8
Save

80% of the current age of Vishal is 50% of the current age of Shivam. If the average age of Shivam and Vishal is 39 years, what is the current age of Vishal?

Detailed Solution: Question 8

Let Vishal’s age be V and Shivam’s age be S.

From “80% of Vishal’s age is 50% of Shivam’s age”:
0.8 V = 0.5 S
→ S = (0.8 V)/(0.5) = 1.6 V

From “the average age of Shivam and Vishal is 39”:
(S + V)/2 = 39
S + V = 78

Substitute S = 1.6 V:
1.6 V + V = 78
2.6 V = 78
V = 78 ÷ 2.6
V = 30

Answer: 30 years (a)

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.
