husband?
A.65
B.75
C.72
D.70
Answer

Answer : D (70)
ExplanationSum of ages is 360 years.The ratio of children and parents ages
is 2:1.
Total age of parents = 360 x 1 / 3 = 120 years
Ratio of wife and husband age is 5:7. Therefore, the age of
husband = 120 x 7 / 12 = 70
Hence the age of husband is 70 years.

C.8 : 7
D.Data inadequate
E.None of these
Answer

Answer B (7 : 8)
Explanation

Let As age and Bs age be 6X years and 7X years respectively


Then, 7X 6X = 4
X=4
Required ratio = (6X + 4) : (7X + 4) = (6*4+4) : (7*4 +4)
=28 : 32 = 7 : 8

be 5/3 times as old as Poonam 6 years hence. How old is
Poonam today?
A.20
B.14
C.12

D.15
E.None of these
Answer

Answer C (12)
Explanation
Let Poonam age 6 years back = x.
Then, Sush age 6 years back = 3x.
(5/3) * (X + 6 + 6) = (3X + 6 + 6)
So 5(x+ 12) = 3(3x+ 12),
so x=6.
Poonam Age = (x+ 6) years = 12 years

the remainder is divided by 18, then the present age of his
grandson Gopal is obtained.If Gopal is 2 years younger to
Mohan whose age is 5 years, then what is the age of
Anuj?
A.44
B.60
C.80
D.92
Answer

Answer : B (60)
Explanation
Let Anujs age be X
Gopal is 2 years younger than Mohan, so Gopal is 3 years (i.e 5
2 = 3)
If Arun had born 6 years before, his age would had been X 6.
As per the question, X 6 should be 18 times as that of Gokuls
age.
i.e. (X 6) /18= 3
X-6 =3 x 18
x = 60
7. Ten years ago, Khush was thrice as old as Sam was but 10
years hence, he will be only twice as old. Find Khushs
present age?
A.30
B.35
C.40
D.36
E.None of these
Answer

Answer A (30)
Explanation
Let Khushs present age be x years and Sams present age be y
years
Then, according to the first condition,
x 10 = 3(y 10)
or, x 3y = -20 ..(1)
Now. Khushs age after 10 years = (x + 10) years
Sams age after 10 years = (y + 10)
(x+10) = 2(y+10)
or, x 2y = 10 ..(2)
Solving (1) and (2), we get
x = 70 and y = 30
Khushs age = 70 years and Sams age = 30 years
8. Father is aged three times more than his son Mohit. After

Mohits age?
A.4
B.2
C.2.5
D.3
E.None of these
Answer

Answer B (2)
Explanation
Let Monits present age be X years. Then, fathers present age =
(X + 3X) years = 4X years.
(4X + 8) =5/2 x (X + 8)
8X + 16 = 5X + 40

3X = 24 so, X=8
Hence, required ratio = (4X + 16) / (X + 16)=48 / 24 = 2

One year ago the ratio between Sam and Ashs age was

4:3. One year hence the ratio of their ages will be 5:4.
What is the sum of their present ages in years?
A.14
B.16
C.18
D.12
E.None of these
Answer

Answer B (16)
Explanation Let one year ago
Sams age be 4X years

And, Ashs age be 3X years


Present age of Sam = (4X + 1) years
Present age of Ash= (3X + 1) years
One year hence
Sams age = (4X + 2) years
Ashs age = (3X + 2) years
According to question,
[4X + 2] divide by [3X + 2] = 5 / 4
16X + 8 = 15X + 10
or, X = 2
Sum of their present ages = 4X + 1 + 3X + 1
= 7X + 2
= 7 x 2 + 2 = 16 years.

C) 40
D) 60
E) 24
Answer & Explanation

C) 40
Explanation:
Let 4 years ago As age = 5x, Bs age = 9x
Then 4+8 = 12 years after (5x+12)/(9x+12) = 2/3
Solve, x = 4
Bs present age = 9x+4 = 40

2. Eight years ago, A was 4 times as old as B. After 8 years A

present age?
A) 20
B) 25
C) 24
D) 18
E) 50
Answer & Explanation

D) 18
Explanation:
Let 10 years ago, As age = x, Bs age = 5x
After (10+6) = 16 years, (x+16) = (3/7) (5x+16)
Solve, x = 8
So As present age = x+10 = 18
5. B is twice older than C and A is 2 years older than B. If the
total of all of their ages is 27, what will be total of the
ages of A and C 6 years hence?
A) 17
B) 29
C) 28
D) 23
E) 18
Answer & Explanation

B) 29
Explanation:
Let Cs present age = x, then Bs = 2x, and As = 2x+2

Given: x+2x+(2x+2) = 27
Solve, x = 5
As present age = 2x+2 = 12
Cs present age = x = 5
6 years after A+C)s age = 12+5+6+6 = 29
6. The sum of the present ages of A and B is 50. After 2
years Bs age will be 2 more than Cs age then. If A is
younger than C by 4 years, find the age of B 8 years ago.
A) 20
B) 40
C) 28
D) 26
E) 22
Answer & Explanation

A) 20
Explanation:
The difference between B and Cs age will remain same
Let Cs present age = x, so Bs present age = (x+2)
sum of the present ages of A and B is 50, so As age becomes =
50-(x+2) =48-x
now A is younger than C by 4 years, so 48-x = x 4
Solve, x = 26
Bs present age = x+2 = 28
Before 8 years, Bs age = 28-8 = 20
7. After 10 years, As age will be twice that of Bs age. As
present age is 6 times that of C. If Bs eighth birthday was
celebrated 2 years ago, then what is Cs present age?
A) 8
B) 5
C) 10

D) 15
E) 12
Answer & Explanation

B) 5
Explanation:
Let Cs present age = x, then As present age = 6x
Let Bs present age is y.
Then after 10 years, (6x+10) = 2 (y+10)
Solve, y = 3x-5 = Bs present age
Bs eighth birthday was celebrated 2 years ago, so Bs present
age = 10, and also 3x-5 = 10
Solve, x = 5
8. The ratio of the present ages of A to B is 5 : 3. The ratio of
As age 4 years ago to Bs age 4 years hence is 1 : 1. What
is the ratio of As age 4 years hence to Bs age 4 years
ago?
A) 3 : 2
B) 5 : 2
C) 3 : 1
D) 2 : 3
E) 1 : 3
Answer & Explanation

C) 3 : 1
Explanation:
Let As present age = 5x, and Bs = 3x
Ratio of As age 4 years ago to Bs age 4 years hence is 1 : 1.
So
(5x-4)/(3x+4) = 1/1
Solve x = 4

So As present age = 20, and Bs = 12


Required ratio = (20+4) : (12-4)
9. Present age of a father is three times more than his son. 8

Explanation:
Solution 1
Let age of Kiran and Bineesh be 7x7x and 9x9x respectively
7x=9x7x=72=3.57x=9x7x=72=3.5

Kiran's age =7x=73.5=24.5=7x=73.5=24.5


Solution 2
Kiran's age : Bineesh's age =7:9=7:9
97=297=2

answer with explanation
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Let age of Sunil =x=x and
age of Syam =y=y
xy=240 (1)xy=240 (1)

| Discuss

2x=y+4y=2x4y=2(x2) (2)2x=y+4y=2x4y=2(x2) (2)

Substituting equation (2)(2) in equation (1)(1). We get


x2(x2)=240x(x2)=2402x(x2)=120 (3)x2(x2)=240x(x2)
=2402x(x2)=120 (3)

We got a quadratic equation to solve.


Always time is precious and objective tests measure not only how
accurate you are but also how fast you are. We can solve this quadratic
equation in the traditional way. But it is more easy to substitute the
values given in the choices in the quadratic equation (equation 33) and
see which choice satisfy the equation.
Here, option A is 1010. If we substitute that value in the quadratic
equation, x(x2)=108x(x2)=108 which is not equal to 120120
Now try option B which is 1212. If we substitute that value in the
quadratic equation, x(x2)=1210=120x(x2)=1210=120. See, we got
that x=12x=12
Hence Sunil's age =12=12
(Or else, we can solve the quadratic equation by factorization as,
x(x2)=120x22x120=0(x12)(x+10)=0x=12 or 1
0x(x2)=120x22x120=0(x12)(x+10)=0x=12 or 10
Since xx is age and cannot be negative, x=12x=12

Or by using quadratic formula as


x=b b24ac 2a=2 (2)241(120) 21=2 4+480 2=2
484 2=2222=12 or 10x=bb24ac2a=2
(2)241(120)21=24+4802=24842=2222=12 or 10

Since age is positive, x=12x=12
