Introduction
Hence 4 years
- 4 years Present + 4 years
Before 4 years After 4 years
4 years ago 4 years later
If it is mentioned as,
A : B
A is Thrice of B = 3 : 1
A is Twice of B = 2 : 1
A is 7/9th of B = 7 : 9
Example
Present ages of Shiva and Janaki are in the ratio of 5 : 4
respectively. Three years hence, the ratio of their ages will become
11 : 9 respectively. What is Janaki's present age in years?
+3
=
9(5x + 3) =
+3
11(4x + 3)
45 x + 27 = 44 x +
33
X=6
Then,
Shiva’s age is 5x = 30
Janaki’s age is 4x = 24
Example
The sum of present ages of A and B is 60. 12 years ago their age
ratio was 5 : 4. Find the present age of A.
Sum of present ages of A and B is 60

12 years ago each of their age will be 12
less than now.
So, sum of their ages 12 years back was
60 – 12 – 12 =36
This was in the ratio 5 : 4

So, 36 is divided into 9 parts, each part = 4
A : B
5 X4 : 4X4
20 : 16 These are their ages before 12 years
So, A’s present age = 20 + 12 = 32 years

Example
The ages of Ram and Mohan are differ by 16 years. 6 years ago
Mohan’s was thrice as that of Ram. Find the present age of Ram.
Before 6 years
Ram : Mohan
1: 3 Their ratio difference is 2
1x8:3x8 And age difference = 16
8 : 24 So, 2 units is the ratio = 16
1 unit = 8
So present age of Ram will be
8 + 6 = 14 years
Example
Kamala got married 6 years ago. Today her age is 1 ¼ times of her
age at the time of her marriage. Her sons age is 1/10th time of her
age. Her sons age is?
Example
My brother is 3 years elder to me. My father was 28 years of age
when my sister was born while my mother was 26 years of age
when I was born. If my sister was 4 years of age when my brother
was born, then, what was the age of my father and mother
respectively when my brother was born?
Example
3 years before the average age of a family of 5 members was 17.
The eldest son in the family got married. After including his wife’s
age the present average age of the family is 21. Then what is the
age of that wife?
26 years
Example
A man’s age is 150% of what he was 10 years back. His dad’s age is
5 less than double of his present age. Then what is his father’s age?
his dad’s age= 55 years

Example
The ratio between the present ages of Rahul and vijay is 3 : 11.
Vijay is 12 years younger than Pradeep. Pradeep’s age after 7 years
will be 85. What is the present age of Rahul’s father who is 25 years
older than Rahul?
Rahul’s father age is

18+25 = 43 years
18
Example
If 1 is added to the age of the elder sister then the ratio of their
ages is 0.5 : 1. But if 2 is subtracted from the age of the younger
one, the ratio becomes 1:3. Find the age of the 2 sisters.
Let the ages of 2 sisters is y , e
y = 0.5 e + 0.5 3y – 6 = e
2y = e + 1  3y = e + 6
_________ _________
3y = e + 6
2y = e + 1
 y=5
 e=9
Example
At the end of 1994 Rohit was half as old as his grandmother. The sum of
the years in which they were born is 3844. How old Rohit was at the end of
1999?
Say,
Rohit age is x,
Then 1994 – x is rohit’s birth year
1994 – 2x is grandma’s birth year
So, 1994-x + 1994-2x = 3844

X=48
Then in 1999 rohit will be 53 years old

Example
A is two years older than B who is twice as old as C. If the total of
the ages of A, B and C be 27, the how old is B?
A B C
2x+2 + 2x + x = 27
A B C
𝑥 −2
x + x-2 +
5 x + 2 = 27
5 x = 25 2 = 27
x= 5 x = 12
So, C’s age is = 5 years So, A’s age is = 12 years

Then, Then,
B’s age will be 2 x 5 = 10 years B’s age will be 12 – 2 = 10 years
Example
A man is 32 years older than his son. In two years, his age will be
twice the age of his son. The present age of his son is:
After 2 years,
Son : Father
1 : 2 Their ratio difference is = 1 unit,
32 : 64 and age difference = 32 years.
So, 1 unit = 32 years
So, son’s present age = 32 – 2 = 30 years
After 2 years,
Father Son
2x _ x = 32
_ x = 32
So, son’s present age = 32 – 2 = 30 years

Introduction

Sum of present ages of A and B is 60

This was in the ratio 5 : 4

So, A’s present age = 20 + 12 = 32 years

his dad’s age= 55 years

Rahul’s father age is

Let the ages of 2 sisters is y , e

So, 1994-x + 1994-2x = 3844

Then in 1999 rohit will be 53 years old

So, C’s age is = 5 years So, A’s age is = 12 years

The Ratio of Ages of Williams and Vincent is 4:5.

• Sunny’s age after six years will be three-seventh of
