Test: Problems on Ages - 1 - Question 1

The average age of a man and his son is 54 years. The ratio of their ages is 23: 13. What will be the ratio of their ages after 6 years.

Detailed Solution for Test: Problems on Ages - 1 - Question 1

To find the ratio of their ages after 6 years:

- Let the current ages be 23x and 13x.
avg age =sum/2
sum = avg age x 2
sum = 54x2 =108
- Their sum is 36x (23x + 13x = 36x), and this equals 108 years.
- So, 36x = 108 years, thus x = 3.
- After 6 years, their ages will be 23(3) + 6 = 75 and 13(3) + 6 = 45.
- The ratio of their ages after 6 years is 75:45, which simplifies to 5:3.
- This simplifies further to 5:3, which is the correct answer (Option B).

Test: Problems on Ages - 1 - Question 2

The average age of a man and his two twin sons is 30 years. The ratio of the ages of father and one of his sons is 5:2. What is the father’s age

Detailed Solution for Test: Problems on Ages - 1 - Question 2
Let father's age be M and age of twins be 2x
(M + 2x)/3 = 30
M + 2x = 90------------(1)
M/x = 5/2
2M = 5x---------------(2)
Multiply (1) with 2
We get, 2M + 4x = 180--------------(3)
Putting (2) in (3)
5x+4x = 180 => 9x = 180x = 20. [his children are twins so 2x = 40]Since M + 2x = 90M = 90 -40 = 50years

Test: Problems on Ages - 1 - Question 3

Two years ago the ratio of ages of A and B was 5:7. Two years hence the ratio of their ages will be 7:9. What is the present age of B.

Detailed Solution for Test: Problems on Ages - 1 - Question 3

Let x,y be present ages of A,B.
x-2/y-2=5/7 implies 7x-5y=4 -(1)
x+2/y+2=7/9 implies 9x-7y=-4. (2)

(1) * 7 - (2) * 5 gives x=12
7(12) - 5y = 4
84 - 5y = 4 
80 = 5y
16 = y
substitute and get y which would be 16

Test: Problems on Ages - 1 - Question 4

The ratio between the present ages of Ravi and Vinay is 7:15 respectively. Two years from now Vinay’s age will be twice that of Ravi’s age. What was the difference between their ages 5 years ago.

Detailed Solution for Test: Problems on Ages - 1 - Question 4

The correct option is B.
Let the present age of Ravi be 7x and that of Vinay be 15x.
After 2 yrs , Ravi age = 7x+2
Vinay age = 15x+2.
Acc. to ques,
15x+2 = 2 (7x+2)
15x+2 = 14x+4
 x = 2.
Five yrs ago,
 Ravi age = 7x-5 => 7*2 - 5 = 9 yrs
 Vinay age = 15x - 5 = 15*2 - 5 = 25 yrs.
Difference = 25 - 9 = 16 years

At present Tarun is twice the age of Vishal and half of Tanvi’s age. After four years Tarun will be 1.5 times Vishal’s age and Tanvi will be 2.5 times Vishal’s age. What is Tanvi’s present age?

Detailed Solution for Test: Problems on Ages - 1 - Question 9
Vishal's present age = x years
Tarun's present age = 2x years
Tanvi's present age = 4x years
After 4 years.
Tarun's age = 1.5 * Vishal's age 
=> 2x + 4 = 1.5(x+4)
=> 2x - 1.5x = 2
=>0.5x = 2 => x = 2/0.5 = 4
Tanvi's present age = 16 years.
Test: Problems on Ages - 1 - Question 10

On Teacher’s Day, 4800 sweets were to be equally distributed among a certain number of children. But on that particular day 100 children were absent. Hence, each child got four sweets extra. How many children were originally supposed to be there?

Detailed Solution for Test: Problems on Ages - 1 - Question 10
Let the original number of children be x.

∴ 4800/x-100 - 4800/x = 4

=> 4800((x-x+100)/(x(x-100))) = 4

=> x(x-100) = 1200 * 100

=> x(x-100) = 400(400-100)

=> x = 400
Test: Problems on Ages - 1 - Question 11

The ratio between the present ages of P and Q is 6:7. If Q is four years older than P, what will be the ratio of the ages of P and Q after 4 years?

Detailed Solution for Test: Problems on Ages - 1 - Question 11

P:Q = 6:7 i.e P/Q = 6/7 => 7P = 6Q--------1
Given that Q = P + 4 (put in 1)
7P = 6(P + 4)
So, P = 24 and Q = P+4 i.e 28years
After 4 years, P+4 i.e 24+4= 28yrs
And Q = 28 +4 = 32years
The ratio we get is 7:8
None of the above mentioned options are correct so option 'E' is correct

Detailed Solution for Test: Problems on Ages - 1 - Question 13

The correct option ia B.
Let the ages of father and son 10 years ago be 3x and x years respectively.

⇒ x = 20
∴ Required ratio
= (3x + 10) : (x + 10)
= 70 : 30
= 7 : 3
