Q1.	Thrice the age of A is 7 times B's age. And C’s age is half of A's age. Also, nine years ago, A's age was one-third of B’s age then. What is the ratio between the age of the A,B and C age respectively ?

1)	11:6:7	2)	11:6:3
3)	14:6:3	4)	14:6:7
5)	None of these

Answer : 14:6:7
Explanation : Given, 3A = 7B

or 3A - 7B = 0 ---------(I) and A = 2C --------- (II)

And A-9 = (B-9)/3

or 3A-27 = B-9

or 3A - B = 18 ---------- (III)

from equations I and III , we get B = 3

A= 7 and C = 3.5

So, ratio of A,B and C i.e. A:B:C= 14:6:7

Present age of B = 78 – 12 = 66 years

Present age of A = 3

11 66 = 18 years

Present age of A’s father = 18 + 25 = 43 years

Q5.	The sum of the present ages of Alok and Prakash is 60 years. Six years ago, Alok's age was five times the age of Prakash. What will be the age of Prakash after 6 years ?

1)	16 years	2)	18 years
3)	20 years	4)	24 years
5)	None of these

Answer : 20 years
Explanation :

Let, the present ages of Alok and Prakash be x and (60 -x) years respectively.

Then, (60 - x) - 6 = 5(x - 6)

54 - x = 5x - 30

or 6x = 84

or x = 14.

So, Prakash's age after 6 years = (x+ 6) = 20 years.

Q6.	A said to B, "I was as old as you are at the present at the time of your birth". If the age of A is 48 years now, what is the age of B five years back ?

1)	14 years	2)	19 years
3)	24 years	4)	28 years
5)	None of these

Answer : 19 years
Explanation :

Let, B's present age be x years. Then, (48 - x) = x

Or 2x = 48.

Or x = 24.

B's age 5 years back (24 - 5) = 19 years.

Q7.	The ratio between the present ages of A and B is 2 : 3 respectively. Four years ago, the ratio between their ages was 5 : 8. respectively. What will be A’s age after 7 years ?

1)	29 yrs	2)	35 yrs
3)	31 yrs	4)	33 yrs
5)	None of these

Answer : 31 yrs
Explanation :

Let, the present ages of A and B be 2x years and 3x years respectively.

So, (2x-4)/(3x-4) = 5/8

or 16x - 32 = 15x -20

or x = 12

Therefore, the Ages of A after 7 years = 2x + 7 = 2 x 12 + 7 = 31 years

13x + 3 = 29 or 13x = 29 - 3 = 26

X = 36/18 = 2

Shalini's age 2 years ago.

11x -2 = 11 x 2 - 2 = 20 years.

Q10.	Q is as much younger than R as he is older than T. If the sum of the ages of R and T is 50 years, what is definitely the difference between R and Q's age ?

1)	1 year	2)	2 year
3)	25 year	4)	Can't be determined
5)	None of these

Answer : Can't be determined
Explanation :

Given that,

The difference of age R and Q = The difference of age Q and T.

Sum of age of R and T is 50 i.e. (R + T) = 50.

Then, R - Q = Q - T

or (R + T) = 2Q

Now given that, (R + T) = 50

So, 50 = 2Q and therefore Q = 25.

Question is (R - Q) = ?

Here we know the value(age) of Q (25), but we don't know the age of R.

Therefore, (R-Q) cannot be determined.
