1. Salman was twice as old as Alyan 10 years back. How old is Alyan today if Salman will be 40 years old 10 years hence (a) 18 (b) 25 (c) 15 (d) 20
Reason: Salman’s age today = 30 years. Salman’s age 10 years back = 20 years. Alyan’s age 10 years back = 10 years. Alyan’s age today =20 year. |
1. Salman was twice as old as Alyan 10 years back. How old is Alyan today if Salman will be 40 years old 10 years hence (a) 18 (b) 25 (c) 15 (d) 20
Reason: Salman’s age today = 30 years. Salman’s age 10 years back = 20 years. Alyan’s age 10 years back = 10 years. Alyan’s age today =20 year. |
2. In 10 years, A will be twice as old as B was 10 years ago. If A is now 9 years older than B, the present age of B is: (a) 35 (b) 37 (c) 39 (d) 41
Reason: Let B’s age = x years. Then, A’s age = (x+ 9) years. (x+9+10)=2(x—10) Hence x=39; Present age of B = 39 year. |
2. In 10 years, A will be twice as old as B was 10 years ago. If A is now 9 years older than B, the present age of B is: (a) 35 (b) 37 (c) 39 (d) 41
Reason: Let B’s age = x years. Then, A’s age = (x+ 9) years. (x+9+10)=2(x—10) Hence x=39; Present age of B = 39 year. |
3. Ten years ago A was half of B in age. If the ratio of their present ages is 3:4, what will be the total of their present ages? (a) 30 (b) 35 (c) 37 (d) 41
Reason: Let A’s age 10 years ago = x years. Then, B’s age 10 years ago = 2x years. (x + 10) / (2x+ 10) = 3/4 => x = 5. So, the total of their present ages =(x + 10 + 2x + 10) = (3x + 20) = (3×5 + 20) = 35 years. |
3. Ten years ago A was half of B in age. If the ratio of their present ages is 3:4, what will be the total of their present ages? (a) 30 (b) 35 (c) 37 (d) 41
Reason: Let A’s age 10 years ago = x years. Then, B’s age 10 years ago = 2x years. (x + 10) / (2x+ 10) = 3/4 => x = 5. So, the total of their present ages =(x + 10 + 2x + 10) = (3x + 20) = (3×5 + 20) = 35 years. |
4. Abdullah was thrice as old as Saqib 6 years back. Abdullah will be times as old as Saqib 6 years hence. How old is Saqib today? (a) 12 (b) 16 (c) 18 (d) 24
Reason: Let Saqib age 6 years back = x. Then, Abdullah age 6 years back = 3x. (5/3) * (X + 6 + 6) = (3X + 6 + 6) So 5(x+ 12) = 3(3x+ 12), So x=6. Saqib Age = (x+ 6) years = 12 years |
4. Abdullah was thrice as old as Saqib 6 years back. Abdullah will be times as old as Saqib 6 years hence. How old is Saqib today? (a) 12 (b) 16 (c) 18 (d) 24
Reason: Let Saqib age 6 years back = x. Then, Abdullah age 6 years back = 3x. (5/3) * (X + 6 + 6) = (3X + 6 + 6) So 5(x+ 12) = 3(3x+ 12), So x=6. Saqib Age = (x+ 6) years = 12 years |
5. Six years ago, the ratio of the ages of Kamal and Saim was 6:5, Four years hence, the ratio of their ages will be 11:10. What is Saim age at present? (a) 10 YEARS (b) 12 YEARS (c) 14 YEARS (d) 16 YEARS
REASON: Let six years ago the age of Kamal and Saim are 6x and 5x resp. then, =>(6x+6)+4 /(5x+6)+4=11/10 <=>10(6x+10)=11(5x+10) <=>5x=10=>x=2 So Saim age is (5x+6) = (5×2+6) = 16. |
5. Six years ago, the ratio of the ages of Kamal and Saim was 6:5, Four years hence, the ratio of their ages will be 11:10. What is Saim age at present? (a) 10 YEARS (b) 12 YEARS (c) 14 YEARS (d) 16 YEARS
REASON: Let six years ago the age of Kamal and Saim are 6x and 5x resp. then, =>(6x+6)+4 /(5x+6)+4=11/10 <=>10(6x+10)=11(5x+10) <=>5x=10=>x=2 So Saim age is (5x+6) = (5×2+6) = 16. |
6. Average age of A and B is 24 years and average age of B, C and D is 22 years. The sum of the ages of A, B, C and D is (a) 90 (b) 98 (c) 120 (d) DATA IS NOT ADEQUATE |
6. Average age of A and B is 24 years and average age of B, C and D is 22 years. The sum of the ages of A, B, C and D is (a) 90 (b) 98 (c) 120 (d) DATA IS NOT ADEQUATE |
7. Total of the ages of A, B and C at present is 90 years. Ten years ago, the ratio of their ages was 1: 2: 3. What is the age of B at present (a) 25 (b) 30 (c) 45 (d) 60
REASON: Let their ages 10 years ago is x, 2x and 3x years. 10 + 2x + 10 + 3x + 10 = 90 hence x= 10 B’s present age = (2x + 10) =30 years. |

REASON: Let their ages 10 years ago is x, 2x and 3x years. 10 + 2x + 10 + 3x + 10 = 90 hence x= 10 B’s present age = (2x + 10) =30 years. |
8. A man is 24 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: (a) 20 YEARS (b) 21 YEARS (c) 22 YEARS (d) 24 YEARS REASON: Let the son’s present age be x years. Then, man’s present age = (x + 24) years => (x + 24) + 2 = 2(x + 2) => x + 26 = 2x + 4 So, x = 22. |

The present age of his son is: (a) 20 YEARS (b) 21 YEARS (c) 22 YEARS (d) 24 YEARS REASON: Let the son’s present age be x years. Then, man’s present age = (x + 24) years => (x + 24) + 2 = 2(x + 2) => x + 26 = 2x + 4 So, x = 22. |
9. Ratio of ages of three persons is 4:7:9, Eight years ago, the sum of their ages was 56. Find their present ages. (a) 16, 35, 36 (b) 12, 28, 36 (c) 16, 28, 27 (d) 16, 28, 36
REASON: Let the present ages are 4x, 7x, 9x. => (4x-8) + (7x-8) + (9x-8) = 56 => 20x = 80 => x = 4 So their present ages are: 16, 28, and 36. |
9. Ratio of ages of three persons is 4:7:9, Eight years ago, the sum of their ages was 56. Find their present ages. (a) 16, 35, 36 (b) 12, 28, 36 (c) 16, 28, 27 (d) 16, 28, 36
REASON: Let the present ages are 4x, 7x, 9x. => (4x-8) + (7x-8) + (9x-8) = 56 => 20x = 80 => x = 4 So their present ages are: 16, 28, and 36. |
