MCQ: Problem Based on Ages - 2 - Question 1

The ratio of the present age of A to that of B to that of C is 4 : 5 : 6. The age of A 8 years later will be 75% of the age of C 4 years later. After how many years age of C will be twice the present age of A?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Problem Based on Ages - 2 - Question 1

A : B : C = 4 : 5 : 6
Let A = 4x, B = 5x and C = 6x
4x + 8 : 6x + 4 = 3 : 4
x = 10
A = 40, B = 50 and C = 60
C will be 2 × 40 = 80 years old in 80 – 60 = 20 years
Hence, Option A is correct.

MCQ: Problem Based on Ages - 2 - Question 2

The age gap between A and C is twice that between A and B. A is older than B and the ratio of the maximum and minimum possible age of C is 7 : 1. What is the ratio of the age of A to B?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Problem Based on Ages - 2 - Question 2

Let the age of B = z
Age of A = z + x
Age of C = z + x + 2x or z + x – 2x
z + 3x or z – x
z + 3x : z – x = 7 : 1
z : x = 5 : 3
Ratio of the age of A : B = z + x : z = (5 + 3) : 5 = 8 : 5
Hence, Option D is correct.

Sujata and Anamika got married at the age of 20 and 24 years, respectively. The present ages of Sujata and Anamika are 60% and 75% more, respectively, than the ages at the time of their wedding. What will be the ratio of the age of Sujata to that of Anamika after 8 years?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Problem Based on Ages - 2 - Question 3

Present age of Sujata = 20 + 60% (20) = 32
Present age of Anamika = 24 + 75%(24) = 42
