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 - There were 24 students in a class. One of them, who was 18 years old, left the class and his place was filled up by a new comer. If the average of the class thereby was lowered by 1 month, the age of the newcomer is -

Answer : B

Explanation

Total age decreased = 24 * 1 months = 24 months or 2 years.
Therefore, age of the new comer = 18 ? 2 = 16 years

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 8 :15 is the ratio of sunil and tarun ages than the ratio and tarun change after the period of 9 year and become 11:18 . Find out the age difference between sunil and tarun ?

Answer : B

Explanation

Let sunil age = 8 year and tarun age is = 15 x years.
8x+9 / 15x+9 =11/18  ⇒ 18 (8x+9) = 11(15x+9)
⇒  144x +162 = 165x +99 ⇒21x = 63 ⇒ x =3
Difference between the ages = (15x-8x)= 45-24 = 21 years

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?

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 - What should be the present age of two person if 5:7 is the present age ratio of two person and 3:5 was the age ratio before the period of 16 year?

Answer : C

Explanation

If the present age of two persons are 5x years and 7x years.
5x-16/ 7x-16 =3/5 ⇒ 5(5x-16) =3(7x-16)
⇒ 4x= (80-48) = 32 ⇒ x =8
Hence, their present ages are 40 years and 56 years.

Q 7 - If Ram and Sham have 36 year and 16 year age . After how much time ram age would be double as old as sham ?

Answer : D

Explanation

Let it be in x years. Then,
36+x = 2(16+x) ⇒ x =4

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 - 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.

Answer : D

Explanation

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.

Q 10 - 15 year hence, a man will be just 4 times as old as he was 15 years ago . His present age is

Answer : A

Explanation

Let the present age of the men  be x years. then
(x+15) = 4(x-15) ⇒ 3x= 75 ⇒ x =25
Hence, the present age of the man is 25 years.
