Q 1 - The ages of Arzoo and Arnav are in the ratio of 11:13 respectively. After 7 years the ratio of their ages will be 20:23. What is the difference in years between their ages?

Answer : C

Explanation

Let the present ages of Arzoo and Arnav be 11x and 13x respectively.
According to the question,
(11x + 7) / (13x + 7) = 20/23
Or, 26x + 140 = 253x + 161
Or, 260x - 253x = 161 - 140
Or, 7x = 21
Or, x =  3

Difference between  their ages = 13x - 11x
= 2x
= 2*3
=  6 years

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 - A father is 30 times older than his son. 18 years later, he will be only thrice as old as his son. Father?s present age in years is:

Answer : C

Explanation

Let the age of the son be x years. So, father's age = 30x years.

As per question, after 18 years,

30x + 18 = 3 (x + 18)
Or, 27x = 54 - 18
Or, x = 36/27 = 4/3

Therefore father's present age = 30*4/3 = 40 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 ?

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 - If 1:2 is the present age ratio of two girls. But 1:3 age ratio of girls was 5 year ago . In that case find out the ratio of age after the period of 5 year?

Answer : C

Explanation

If the present age of two girls is x and 2x years. Then,
x-5/ 2x-5 = 1/3 ⇒ 3(x-5) =(2x-5) ⇒ x =10
5 year after their age ratio will be = x+5/ 2x+5 = 10+5/20+5 = 15/25 = 3/5= 3:5

Q 6 - If the age of a mother is 3 times in the comparison of her daughter before the period of 10 year . 10 year later from the present date , the mother age would be 2 times of her daughter. In that situation what should be the age ratio of them at the present time?

Answer : C

Explanation

If the x year is the present age of her daughter.
Mother age 10 year ago = 3(x-10) = (3x-30) year
Present age of the mother = ( 3x-30+10) = (3x-20) year
After 10 year age of the mother = (3x-20 +10) = (3x-10) year
Son age after the period of 10 year = (x+10) year
∴  (3x-10) = 2(x+10) ⇒ x = 30
Mother present age = (3x-20) year = 70 years.
Daughter present age = 30 years.
Required ratio =  70: 30 = 7:3

Q 7 - A mother have 7 times in the comparison of her daughter at the time of 1 year ago . At the present time mother age is equal to the square of her son . What should be the time age of mother?

Answer : B

Explanation

Let the present age of the son be x years.
Man present age  =7(x-1)+1 years =  (7x-6 ) yrs.
7x-6 = x² ⇒ x²-7x+6 = 0 ⇒ (x-6)(x-1) =0 ⇒ x =6 or x =1
∴ present age of men = (7*6-6) = 36 yrs.

Q 8 - Before the period of 5 year, the age of vijay was 1/3 of the age in the comparison from vipin. The present age of vijay is 17 year , in that situation find out the present age of vipin?

Answer : C

Explanation

Let vijay age 5 years  ago be x years. Then, vipin age 5 years ago = 3x years.
x+5 = 17  ⇒ x = 12
present age of vipin = (3*12+5) = 41 yrs.

Q 9 - Ajay is 2 years older than brij but brij have double age in the comparison of Chaman . 27 years is the total age all of three. What should be the present age of brij?

Answer : D

Explanation

If chaman age be x years . then brij age = 2x years , ajay  age =( 2x+2)
∴  2x+2+2x+x =27 ⇒  5x = 25 ⇒ x =5
The age of brij = 10 years.
