Q 2 - The resent ages of A, B and C are in the ratio of 8:14:22 respectively. The resent ages of B, C and D are in the ratio of 21:33:44 respectively. Which of the following represents the ratio of the present ages of A, B, C and D respectively.

A - 12:21:33:44

B - 12:22:31:44

C - 12:21:36:44

D - Cannot be determined

Answer : A

Explanation

A : B : C = 8 : 14 : 22 = 12 : 21 : 33
B : C : D = 21 : 33 : 44

Therefore, A : B : C : D = 12 : 21 : 33 : 44

Q 3 - One year ago the ratio of Yamini?s and Gamini?s ages was 6 : 7 respectively. Four years hence this ratio would become 7 : 8. How old is Gamini?

A - 35 years

B - 30 years

C - 31 years

D - 36 years

Answer : D

Explanation

Let one year ago the ages of Yamini and Gamini be 6x and 7x years respectively.

Therefore, present ages will be 6x + 1 and 7x + 1 years respectively.

Now four years hence,

(6x + 1 + 4) / (7x + 1 + 4)  = 7/8
Or, (6x + 5)  / (7x + 5) = 7/8
Or, 49x + 35 = 48x + 40
Or, X = 40 - 35 = 5 

Hence Gamini's present age = 7x + 1  = 7*5 + 1 = 36 years

Q 4 - If 3:4 is the present age ratio of anil and varun but 5 year later , the ratio of their age change and become 4:5 . Find out the present age of varun ?

A - 15 years

B - 18 years

C - 20 years

D - 24 years

Answer : C

Explanation

If anil age is 3x year and 4x is the varun age.
3x+5/ 4x+5 =4/5 ⇒5(3x+5) = 4(x+5) ⇒ 15x+25 = 16x+20 ⇒ x= 5
Varun age  = (4*5) =20 year

Q 5 - What should be the present age of a man if the given condition is such as 15 year hence , a men will be 4 times as old as he was before the period of 15 year?

A - 10 years

B - 15 years

C - 20 years

D - 45 years

Answer : D

Explanation

Let man present age be x years.
His age 15 year ago = (x-15) years.  His age 15year hence = (x+15) years.
(x+15) = 4(x-15) ⇒ 3x= 45 ⇒ x = 45

Q 6 - If 6 year is the difference of age of two boys ram and shyam at the present time. After the period of 4 year, the ratio of their age would be 3:4 . find out the shyam age at the present time?

A - 15 years

B - 18 years

C - 20 years

D - 25 years

Answer : C

Explanation

Let  x year is the ram present age then shyam present age will be (x+6)
X+4/ (x+6+4) = 3/4 = x+4/ x+10 = 3/4  ⇒ 4(x+4) = 3(x+10) ⇒ x = 14.
Hence , it proves that the present age of shyam = (14+6) = 20 year 

Q 7 - If 4:1 is the ratio between mother and daughter and the sum of their age is 196. What should be the age ratio between mother and daughter after the period of 5 year?

A - 3:1

B - 10:3

C - 11:4

D - 14:5

Answer : C

Explanation

Let mother age be4 x year and her daughter age is x year.
4x*x = 196 ⇒ x2 = 49 ⇒ x = 7
Present age of mother is 7*4 = 28 year and son present age = 7 years.
Required ratio = (28+5) : (7+5) = 33 : 12   = 11 : 4

Q 8 - Yusuf is as much younger to ajay as he is older to pawan , if 48 year is the sum of ajay and pawan then what should be the present age of yusuf?

A - 20 years

B - 24 years

C - 30 years

D - cannot be determined

Answer : B

Given   A-Y = Y-P ⇒ A+P = 2Y
Also A+P = 48 Year . so,  2j = 48 ⇒ y = 24
Hence, yusuf  is 24 year old.

Q 9 - What should be the present age of A,B and C who have the present age in the proportion of 10 :11:12. 150 was the sum of the ages of all before the period of 5 years.

If the present age  of A,B and C be 10 x, 11x and 12x  years.
Sum of their ages now = (150+ 5*3) =165 years.
∴ 10x+11x+12x = 165 ⇒ 33 x = 165 ⇒ x = 5
So, their  ages are 50, 55 and 60  years.
