The present age of Sumit is 1/8th of his father. After 4 years, the father‘s age will be
twice the age of Raman. If Raman celebrated his 6th birthday eight years ago, what is
Sumit‘s present age?
Correct
Present ratio Sumit : Father is 1 : 8……………. (1)
4 years after, Father : Raman is 2 : 1………………..(2)
Raman‘s 6th birthday was 8 years ago, so after 4 years he will be 18 years old
Put in equation (2), Raman = 18, Father = 36
So present age of father = 32
So of Sumit is 32/8 = 4 years
Incorrect
Present ratio Sumit : Father is 1 : 8……………. (1)
4 years after, Father : Raman is 2 : 1………………..(2)
Raman‘s 6th birthday was 8 years ago, so after 4 years he will be 18 years old
Put in equation (2), Raman = 18, Father = 36
So present age of father = 32
So of Sumit is 32/8 = 4 years

Sita‘s daughter = 4
So her father‘s = 60
Difference = 56 years
Incorrect
Sita : Daughter = 5 : 1
Sita : Father = 1: 3 or 5 : 15
Total age of 3 = 1 + 5 + 15 = 21
So average = 21/3 = 7
7…….28
1……..4
Sita‘s daughter = 4
So her father‘s = 60

When the couple was married the average of their ages was 25 years. When their first
child was born, the average age of family became 18 years. When their second child
was born, the average age of the family became 15 years. Find the average age of the
couple now.
Correct
Sum of ages of couple = 25*2 = 50
When 1st child born, total age of 3 = 18*3 = 54 years
At this time the child‘s age was 0, so age of father and mother would have increased by
same. So increased by 2 years each. So 50 +2 + 2 = 54
Now when 2nd child born, total age of 4 = 15*4 = 60
So this time second child‘s age = 0 and age of father, mother and first child would have
increased by same. So increased by 2 each such that 54 + 2+2+2 = 60
So now this time (after 4 years from age 50), total age of couple is 50+4+4 = 58
So average = 29 years
Incorrect
Sum of ages of couple = 25*2 = 50
When 1st child born, total age of 3 = 18*3 = 54 years
At this time the child‘s age was 0, so age of father and mother would have increased by
same. So increased by 2 years each. So 50 +2 + 2 = 54
Now when 2nd child born, total age of 4 = 15*4 = 60
So this time second child‘s age = 0 and age of father, mother and first child would have
increased by same. So increased by 2 each such that 54 + 2+2+2 = 60
So now this time (after 4 years from age 50), total age of couple is 50+4+4 = 58
So average = 29 years

19. Question
1 points
Ratio of age of A to B is 3 : 2 and that of A to C is 1 : 2. Difference in ages of B and C is
24 years. Find the average of their present ages.
Correct
B/A = 2/3 and A/C = 1/2
So B : A : C = 2*1 : 3*1 : 3*2 = 2 : 3 : 6
So 6x – 2x = 24, 4x = 24, x = 6
So total of their present ages = (2+3+6)*6. So average = (2+3+6)*6 / 3 = 22 years
Incorrect
B/A = 2/3 and A/C = 1/2
So B : A : C = 2*1 : 3*1 : 3*2 = 2 : 3 : 6
So 6x – 2x = 24, 4x = 24, x = 6
So total of their present ages = (2+3+6)*6. So average = (2+3+6)*6 / 3 = 22 years

The average age of Yogita, Kanika and Prachi is 14 years. The ratio of Yogita‘s age
one year ago to Kanika‘s age one years hence to Prachi‘s age three years hence is 5 :
6 : 4. Find ratio of Yogita‘s age two years hence to Prachi‘s age.
Correct
Y + K + P = 42
(Y – 1) : (K + 1) : (P + 3) = 5 : 6 : 4
So (5x + 1) + (6x – 1) + (4x – 3) = 42
Solve, x = 3
So Yogita‘s age 1 ago hence = 5x = 15, so present age = 16
Prachi‘s age 3 years hence = 4x = 12, so present age = 9
So (Y+2)/P = 18/9 = 2/1
Incorrect
Y + K + P = 42
(Y – 1) : (K + 1) : (P + 3) = 5 : 6 : 4
So (5x + 1) + (6x – 1) + (4x – 3) = 42
Solve, x = 3
So Yogita‘s age 1 ago hence = 5x = 15, so present age = 16
Prachi‘s age 3 years hence = 4x = 12, so present age = 9
So (Y+2)/P = 18/9 = 2/1

was born, her brother Rahul was four years old and her father two years older than her
mother. If the average age of her mother and father is 46 years. Find the ratio of age of
Rahul to that of Sneha.
Correct
Let age of Sneha = x, So age of Mother = 2x+5, Rahul = x+4, Father = 2x+7
(2x+5 + 2x+7) = 2*46
So x = 20
So (x+4)/x = 24/20 = 6/5
Incorrect
Let age of Sneha = x, So age of Mother = 2x+5, Rahul = x+4, Father = 2x+7
(2x+5 + 2x+7) = 2*46
So x = 20
So (x+4)/x = 24/20 = 6/5
