Q:

# The Age of Ashok , Deepak and Ramu are in the proportion of 3:5:6. If the difference between the ages of Deepak and Ramu is 5 years . what is Ashok's age in years?

Q:

The difference between the present ages of Avanthi and Kapil is 9 years. After 7 years, Kapil’s age is twice of Avanthi’s age. What will be Kapil’s age after 4 years?

 A) 15 B) 16 C) 18 D) 20

Explanation:

Let the present ages of Kapil and Avanthi be K & A

Given difference in their ages = K - A = 9 years ...........(1)

After 7 years, K + 7 =  2(A + 7) ......(2)

K + 7 = 2A + 14

K - 2A = 7 ............(3)

K - A = 9 ....(1)

From (1) & (3),

-A = -2

=> A = 2 years

=> K = 9 + 2 = 11 years

Required, age of Kapil after 4 years = 11 + 4 = 15 years.

Q:

Karthik is now 32 years old and his son is 7 years old. In how many years will Karthik be twice as old as the son?

 A) 18 B) 25 C) 7 D) 15

Explanation:

Given Karthik’s age = 32 years

Karthik’s son age = 7 years

Difference between their ages = K - S = 32 - 7 = 25 years ….(1)

Now, required K = 2S ……(2)

Put (2) in (1)

2S - S = 25

=> S = 25 years

Hence, at the age of 25 years of Karthik’s son, Karthik will be twice as his son’s age.

25 - 7 = 18 years

Therefore, after 18 years the father be twice as old as the son.

Q:

The ages of Sunitha and Pranitha are 40 years and 60 years, respectively. How many years before the ratio of their ages was 3 : 5?

 A) 10 years B) 15 years C) 18 years D) 24 years

Explanation:

Given the ages of Sunitha and Pranitha are 40 years and 60 years.

Let before 'm' years, their ages be in the ratio of 3 : 5

ATQ,

=> 200 - 5m = 180 - 3m

=>2m = 20

=> m = 10 years.

Q:

5 years ago, the mother's age was 3 times of her son's age. 5 years hence, the ratio between the ages of mother and the son becomes 11:5. Find the mother's present age?

Let the present age's of mother be 'M' and that of her son be 'S'.

According to the given data in the question,

M - 5 = 3(S - 5)

F - 3S = -10  ...............(1)

Then given ,

M + 5 : S + 5 = 11 : 5

=> 5M - 11S = 30 ..............(2)

From (1) & (2), we get

S = 20

Then by substituting S = 20 in (1) or (2), we get

M = 50.

Hence, the present age of mother is M = 50 years.

Q:

The age of Sohail, Afzal and Bilal are 17,16 and 12 respectively. If the age of Aslam also included the average of the ages is increased by 5. What is the age of Aslam?

 A) 32 B) 33 C) 34 D) 35

Explanation:

Given S = 17 yrs

A = 16 yrs

B = 12 yrs

Average = 17 + 16 + 12/3 = 15 yrs

Given if Aslam added to them, their average increases by 5

=> Average of 4 members = 20

Let the age of Aslam be 'x'

Then,

17 + 16 + 12 + x /4 = 20

=> x = 80 - 45

=> x = 35.

Hence, the age of Aslam is 35 yrs.

Q:

The ratio of K’s and M’s ages is 4: 5. If the difference between the present age of M and the age of K, 5 years hence is 3 years, then what is the difference and total of present ages of K and M?

 A) 8, 72 yrs B) 16, 65 yrs C) 12, 84 yrs D) 10, 60 yrs

Explanation:

Let the present ages be K,M

Given K/M = 4/5

5K - 4M = 0 ......(1)

Also given that,

M - (K + 5) = 3

M - K = 8 .........(2)

Then, by solving (1) & (2)

M = 40 yrs and K = 32 yrs

Hence, Total of ages = 40 + 32 = 72 yrs

Difference of ages = 40 - 32 = 8 yrs.

Q:

Rajeev's age after 15 years will be 5 times his age 5 years back. What is the present age of rajeev?

 A) 12 B) 14 C) 22 D) 10

Explanation:

Let Rajeev's present age be  x years.

Rajeev's age after 15 years = (x + 15) years.

Rajeev's age 5 years back = (x - 5) years

Then ATQ,

x + 15 = 5 (x - 5)

x + 15 = 5x - 25

=> x = 10

Hence, Rajeev's present age = x = 10 years.

Q:

The average age of Vishal and Raghavendra is 24 years. If a new person Veerender is also included, the average age is increased by 1.5 years. What is the age of Veerender?

 A) 28.5 yrs B) 29.5 yrs C) 30.5 yrs D) 27 yrs

Explanation:

According to the given data,

(V + R)/2 = 24

Now, after joining of Veerender,

V + R + D)/3 = 25.5

Hence, Veerender Age = 3(25.5) - 2(24) = 76.5 - 48 = 28.5 years.
