Q:

Ten years ago, Kumar was thrice as old as Sailesh was but 10 years hence, he will be only twice as old. Find Kumar’s present age ?

A) 50 years B) 70 years
C) 60 years D) 40 years
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 70 years

Explanation:

Let Kumar’s present age be "x" years and Sailesh’s present age be "y" years.
Then, according to the first condition,


x - 10 = 3(y - 10) => x - 3y = - 20 ........(1)

Now, Kumar’s age after 10 years = (x + 10) years.

Sailesh’s age after 10 years = (y + 10) years.

(x + 10) = 2 (y + 10)  => x - 2y = 10 ......(2)

 

Solving (1) and (2),

we get x = 70 and y = 30

Kumar’s present age = 70 years    and  Sailesh’s present age = 30 years.
