times of Ronit’s age. After further 8 years, how wife and child = 27 + 3 = 30
many times would he be of Ronit’s age? So, Present total age of husband, wife and child
Solution: Let, Ronit ′ s present age be = x years, = 30 × 3 = 90 years
Present average age of wife and child = 20 + 5
father ′ s present age = x + 3x = 4x years
= 25
Atq, 4x + 8 = 2.5 x + 8 ⇒ 4x + 8 = 2.5x + 20
Present total age = 2 × 25 = 50 years
⇒ 1.5x = 12 ∴ x = 8.
So, husband′s present age = 90 − 50 = 40 years.

Solution: Let, 10 years ago, age of A = x 90 − − i
So, age of B at that time = 2x Again, B − A = C − B ⇒ 2B = A + C
x + 10 3 ⇒ A + C = 2B
ATQ, = ⇒ 6x + 30 = 4x + 40
2x + 10 4 Putting this value in i ⇒ 2B + B = 90
2x = 10 ⇒ x = 5 ⇒ 3B = 90 ⇒ B = 30
So, present age of A and B = 5 + 10 = 15 Since D is 40 years older than B
and 2 × 5 + 10 = 20 So age of D = 30 + 40 = 70 years
Total = 15 + 20 = 35 years.
