Q:

Sum of the ages of Rajesh, Suresh, Mahesh and Dinesh is 76 years. 7 years hence, their age ratio is 7:6:5:8. Find Mahesh’s present age ?

A) 17 years B) 13 years
C) 14 years D) 16 years
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 13 years

Explanation:

Given R + S + M + D = 76

=> R+7 : S+7 : M+7 : D+7 = 7:6:5:8

=> Let the ratio = x

=> M+7 = 5x

=> M = 5x-7

=> R = 7x-7

=> S = 6x-7

=> D = 8x-7

=> R + S + M + D = 76

=> 7x-7 + 6x-7 + 5x-7 + 8x-7 = 76

=> 26x - 28 = 76

=> 26x = 104

=> x = 4

=> Mahesh's present age = 5x-7 = 20 - 7 = 13 years.
