The ages of Samina and Suhana are in the ratio of 7:3 respectively. After 6 years, the ratio of their ages will be 5:3, What is the difference in their ages?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Solution:

Let Samina's present age be 7x and Suhana's present age be 3x.

After 6 years, Samina's age will be 7x+6 and Suhana's age will be 3x+6.

Then, (7x + 6) : (3x + 6) = 5 : 3

       Þ3(7x + 6) = 5 (3x + 6)

       Þ21x + 18 = 15x + 30

       Þ6x = 12

       Þx= 2​

Now, difference in their ages = 7x – 3x = 4x = 4 × 2 = 8.

Eight year ago, Poorvi's age was equal to the sum of the present ages of her one son and one daughter. Five years hence, the respective ratio between the ages of her daughter and her son that time will be 7:6. If Poorvi's husband is 7 years elder to her and his present age is three times the prevent age of their son. What is the present age of the daughter?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Solution:

Let P be Poorvi's present age, S be the present age of her son, D be the present age of her daughter & H be Poorvi's husband's present age.

Eight years ago, Poorvi's age was P−8.

The sum of the present ages of her son and daughter is S+D.

Then, P−8 = S+D ………… (i)

Five years hence, the daughter's age will be D+5 and the son's age will be S+5.

Then, 6(D+5) ​= 7(S+5)

Þ 6D+30 = 7S+35

Þ 6D−7S = 5 ………… (ii)  

Poorvi's husband is 7 years elder to her, so H=P+7.

His present age is three times the present age of their son, so H = 3S.

                                                                                             Þ P+7=3S

                                                                                             Þ P = 3S−7 ………….(iii)  

Substituting value of P into equation (iii),

Þ 3S−7−8 = S+D

Þ 3S−15 = S+D

Þ 2S−D = 15

Þ D = 2S – 15 ………… (iv)

Substituting value of D into equation (ii),

       6(2S−15)−7S=5

 Þ 12S−90−7S=5

 Þ 5S=95

 Þ S=19

Now, substitute S=19 into equation (iv)

      D = 2S−15

Þ D = 2(19) −15

Þ D = 38 −15

Þ D = 23

The sum of present ages of a father and his son is 8 years more than the present age of the mother. The mother is 22 years older than the son. What will be the age of the father after 4 years?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Solution:

Let F be the present age of the father, S be the present age of the son, and M be the present age of the mother.

Then, F+S = M+8

     Þ M = S+22

We need to find F+4.

Substitute equation (2) into equation (1):

     F+S = (S+22) + 8

Þ F + S = S+30

Þ F=30

Father's age after 4 years = F+4 = 30 + 4 = 34

Rahul is as much younger than Sagar as he is older than Purav. If the sum of the ages of Purav and Sagar is 66 years, then what is definitely the difference between Rahul's and Purav's age?
Answer & Solution
Solution:

Let, Rahul, Sagar & Purav’s age = x, y & z.

Then, y−x = x−z

     Þ 2x = y + z  

Sum of Sagar and Purav’s ages

          y+z = 66

Now, 2x = y + z

     Þ 2x = 66 (Since y + z = 66)

     Þ x = 33

So, Rahul's age is 33 years.

We need to find x-z:

          x- z = 33 - z

From given options, if z=18, we substitute:

         x-z = 33−18 =15

\ The difference between Rahul's and Purav’s age is 15 years.

Ten years hence, the respective ratio between Simmi's age and Niti's age will be 7: 9. Two years ago, the respective ratio between Simmi's age and Niti's age was 1:3. If Abhay is 4 years older to his sister Niti. what is Abhay's present age?
Answer & Solution
Solution:

Let Simmi’s and Niti’s present ages be S and N.

Then, ten years hence

     9(S + 10) = 7(N + 10)​
Þ 9S−7N=−20

Again, two years ago

     3(S – 2) = N – 2

Þ 3S−N=4

Þ N = 3S – 4

Substituting value of N,

     9S−7N= −20

Þ 9S−7(3S−4)= −20

Þ -12S + 28 = - 20

Þ S = 4

 \ N=3(4) – 4 = 8

Hence, Abhay’s present age

 A = N + 4 = 8 + 4 = 12

4 years ago, the ratio of 1/2 of A's age at that time and four times of B's age at the time was 5: 12. Eight years hence, 1/2 of A's age at that time will be less than B's age at that time by 2 years. What is B's present age?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Answer & Solution
Solution:

Let A's and B's ages 4 years ago be A−4 and B−4.

Then, ½ × 12(A−4) = 5 × 4(B−4) ​

      Þ 6A−24 =−20B – 80

      Þ  6A + 20B = - 80 + 24

      Þ 3A + 10B = - 28

& A + 8 = 2(B + 6)

Þ A – 2B = 4

Þ A = 4 – 2B

Substituting the value of A, 3A−10B=−28

                                             3(2B+4)−10B=−28

                                             6B + 12 − 10B = −28

                                                   ⇒ −4B = − 40

                                                   ⇒ B =10

\ B's present age is 10 years.
