Q:

7 years ago, the ratio of the ages of Anirudh to that of Bhavana, was 7:9. Chandhu is 12 years older than Anirudh and 12 years younger than Bhavana. What is Chandhu's present age?

A) 91 years B) 115 years
C) 103 years D) Can't be determined
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 103 years

Explanation:

Let present Anirudh's age be 'A' and Bhavana's age be 'B'

Given seven years, their ratio is 7:9

=> A-7 : B-7 = 7 : 9

=> 9A - 7B = 14 .......(1)

And given,

Chandhu is 12 years older than A nad 12 years younger than B

=> C = A + 12....(2)

=> B = C + 12

=> B = A + 12 + 12 .....(From (2))

=> B = A + 24 ....(3)

Put (3) in (1)

9A - 7(A+24) = 14

9A - 7A - 168 = 14

2A = 182

=> A = 91 years

=> C = A + 12 = 91 +12 = 103 years.

Q:

Two trains start from same place at same time at right angles to each other. Their speeds are 36km/hr and 48km/hr respectively. After 30 seconds the distance between them will be ?

A) 900 mts B) 300 mts
C) 250 mts D) 500 mts
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 500 mts

Explanation:

Using pythagarous theorem,
distance travelled by first train = 36x5/18x30 = 300m
distance travelled by second train = 48x5/18x30 = 400m
so distance between them =√( 90000 + 160000) = √250000 = 500mts.

Q:

Rajeev's age is four more than the age of Shilpa. The age of Shilpa can be obtained by subtracting four times her age 4 years ago from the four times her age after 4 years. What was Rajeev's age before 4 years ?

A) 36 years B) 28 years
C) 32 years D) 40 years
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 32 years

Explanation:

Let Shilpa's present age is p years

According to question,

p = 4(x+4) – 4(x–4)

p = 4x+16 – 4x+16

p = 32

Shilpa's present age = 32 years

Rajeev is four years older than Shilpa

=> Shilpa's present age = Rajeev's age 4 years before.

=> Rajeev's age 4 years before = 32 years.

Q:

A person says that his son is 5 times as old as his daughter and his wife is 5 times older than his son and he is twice the age of his wife . The sum total of all the ages equals the age of the grand mother who celebrated her 81st birthday today. How old was his son?

A) 50 yrs B) 25 yrs
C) 72 yrs D) 40 yrs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 50 yrs

Explanation:

Let the daughter age be 'x'
Therefore, Son age = 5x, Mother age = 25x, Person age = 50x.

Thus we get, x+5x+25x+50x = 81
81x = 81
x = 1

Daughter's age = 1, Son's = 5, Mother's = 25, Person's age = 50.
