Answer & Explanation Answer:- 1 Explanation :- Lets suppose Sobha’s age= x 2. The age of father 10 years ago was thrice the age of his son. Ten years hence, father’s age will be twice that of his son. What is the ratio of their present ages? Answer & Explanation Answer:- 1 Explanation :- Let the age of son 10 years ago = x years 3. The ages of two persons differ by 16 years. 6 years ago, the elder one was 3 times as old as the younger one. What are their present ages of the elder person? Answer & Explanation Answer:- 3 Explanation :- Lets suppose the age of younger person = x years, 4. The present age of a father is 3 years more than three times the age of his son. Three years hence, father’s age will be 10 years more than twice the age of the son. What is father’s present age? Answer & Explanation Answer:- 4 Explanation :- Let the Son’s peresent Age = x. 5. Kamal was 4 times as old as his son 8 years ago. After 8 years, Kamal will be twice as old as his son. Find out the present age of Kamal. Answer & Explanation Answer:- 1 Explanation :- Let Son’s age 8 years ago = x years
her brother’s age = x – 4
Sobha’s father’s age = x + 38
Sobha’s mother’s age = (x – 4) + 36 = x + 32
Sobha’s father’s age – Sobha’s mother’s age = (x + 38) – (x + 32) = 6 years
1. 7 : 3
2. 3 : 7
3. 9 : 4
5. 4 : 9
Therefore Age of father 10 years ago = 3 x years
According to question ,
(3x + 10) + 10 = 2 [(x + 10) + 10]
3x + 20 = 2x + 40
x = 20.
Ratio of Present age of father and son = (3x + 10) : (x + 10) = 70 : 30 = 7 : 3.
1. 10
2. 20
3. 30
4. 40
Therefore, Elder person’s age = (x +16)
Before , 6 years
3(x-6) = (x+16-6)
3x-18 = x+10
x = 14.
So, Elder person’s age = x + 16 = 30
1. 30 years
2. 31 years
3. 32 yeas
4. 33 years
Therefore, Father’s Present age = 3x + 3
After three years,
Son’s Age = (x+3) & Father’s Present age = (3x + 3 + 3) = (3x + 6)
Therefore , According to question,
(3x + 6) = 10 + 2(x + 3)
3x + 6 = 10 + 2x + 6
x = 10
Father’s Present age = 3x + 3 = 3*10 + 3 = 33
1. 40 years
2. 38 years
3. 42 years
4. 36 years
Therefore, Kamal’s age 8 years ago = 4x
After 8 years,
Son’s age = (x + 8 + 8 ) = (x +16) years
Kamal’s age = 4x + 8 + 8 = 4x +16
According to Question
4x + 16 = 2 (x + 16)
x = 8
Kamal’s Present Age = 4x + 8 = (4 * 8) + 8 = 40 years
