1.

Answer: Option A
Explanation: Let Ronit's present age be x years. Then, father's present age =(x + 3x) years = 4x years. (4x + 8) = 5 (x + 8) 2

8x + 16 = 5x + 40 3x = 24 x = 8. Hence, required ratio = (4x + 16) (x + 16) = 48 24 = 2.

2. Answer: Option A
Explanation: Let the ages of children be x, (x + 3), (x + 6), (x + 9) and (x + 12) years. Then, x + (x + 3) + (x + 6) + (x + 9) + (x + 12) = 50 5x = 20 x = 4. Age of the youngest child = x = 4 years.

3. Answer: Option A
Explanation: Let the son's present age be x years. Then, (38 - x) = x 2x = 38. x = 19. Son's age 5 years back (19 - 5) = 14 years. 4. Answer: Option D Explanation:

Let C's age be x years. Then, B's age = 2x years. A's age = (2x + 2) years. (2x + 2) + 2x + x = 27 5x = 25 x = 5. Hence, B's age = 2x = 10 years. 5. Answer: Option A Explanation: Let the present ages of Sameer and Anand be 5x years and 4x years respectively. 5x + 3 4x + 3

Then,

11 9

9(5x + 3) = 11(4x + 3) 45x + 27 = 44x + 33 45x - 44x = 33 - 27 x = 6. Anand's present age = 4x = 24 years. 6. Answer: Option D Explanation: Let the son's present age be x years. Then, man's present age = (x + 24) years. (x + 24) + 2 = 2(x + 2) x + 26 = 2x + 4 x = 22. 7. Answer: Option A Explanation: Let the ages of Kunal and Sagar 6 years ago be 6x and 5x years respectively.

Then,

(6x + 6) + 4 (5x + 6) + 4

11 10

10(6x + 10) = 11(5x + 10) 5x = 10 x = 2. Sagar's present age = (5x + 6) = 16 years. 8. Answer: Option D Explanation: Let the present ages of son and father be x and (60 -x) years respectively. Then, (60 - x) - 6 = 5(x - 6) 54 - x = 5x - 30 6x = 84 x = 14. Son's age after 6 years = (x+ 6) = 20 years.. 9. Answer: Option B Explanation: Let the present ages of Arun and Deepak be 4x years and 3x years respectively. Then, 4x + 6 = 26 x = 5. Deepak's age = 3x = 15 years. 10. Answer: Option D Explanation: Let Rahul's age be x years. Then, Sachin's age = (x - 7) years. x-7 = 7 4x = 20

9x - 63 = 7x 2x = 63 x = 31.5 Hence, Sachin's age =(x - 7) = 24.5 years. 11. Answer: Option B Explanation: Let their present ages be 4x, 7x and 9x years respectively. Then, (4x - 8) + (7x - 8) + (9x - 8) = 56 20x = 80 x = 4. Their present ages are 4x = 16 years, 7x = 28 years and 9x = 36 years respectively. 12. Answer: Option C Explanation: Mother's age when Ayesha's brother was born = 36 years. Father's age when Ayesha's brother was born = (38 + 4) years = 42 years. Required difference = (42 - 36) years = 6 years. 13. Answer: Option C Explanation: Let the mother's present age be x years. Then, the person's present age = 2 x+ 5 8 = 1 (x + 8) 2 2 x 5 years .

2(2x + 40) = 5(x + 8)

x = 40. 14. Answer: Option D Explanation: Given that: 1. The difference of age b/w R and Q = The difference of age b/w Q and T. 2. Sum of age of R and T is 50 i.e. (R + T) = 50. Question: R - Q = ?. Explanation: R-Q=Q-T (R + T) = 2Q Now given that, (R + T) = 50 So, 50 = 2Q and therefore Q = 25. Question is (R - Q) = ? Here we know the value(age) of Q (25), but we don't know the age of R. Therefore, (R-Q) cannot be determined. 15. Answer: Option B Explanation: Let the ages of father and son 10 years ago be 3x and x years respectively. Then, (3x + 10) + 10 = 2[(x + 10) + 10] 3x + 20 = 2x + 40 x = 20. Required ratio = (3x + 10) : (x + 10) = 70 : 30 = 7 : 3.
