1. This year, the sum of ages of the Suresh’s family members is 78. Currently, there are 4 members namely viz Suresh, Rita, Deepa and Tarun. Suresh is 4 years older than Rita. Deepa is two years older than Tarun. If Suresh is 7 times as old as Tarun, how old is Deepa?
   A. 5
   B. 7
   C. 8
   D. 9
   E. 6
   
   Answer & Explanation

   Answer – B. 7
   Explanation :
   S+R+D+T = 78 – (i)
   S = R + 4 – (ii)
   D = T + 2 – (iii)
   S = 7T – (iv)
   7T = R+4
   R= 7T – 4
   h+w+d+s = 78 – (i)
   7T+7T-4+T+2+T = 78
   16T = 80
   T = 5
   d = T+2 = 5+2 = 7
   
   
2. Three years from now, Deepa will be three times as old as Emma and Emma will be six years younger than Femina. If Deepa’s age is three years less than twice Femina’s age, how old is Femina?
   A. 9
   B. 15
   C. 21
   D. 27
   E. 33
   
   Answer & Explanation

   Answer – A. 9
   Explanation :
   D+3=3(E+3)
   E+3=(F+3)-6
   D=2F-3.
   E+3=F-3 or E=F-6.
   D+3=3(F-6+3)
   D+3=3F-9
   D=3F-12.
   now, we have D=2F-3.
   2F-3=3F-12
   9=F
   
   
3. Ravi is now 4 years older than Emma and half of that amount older than Ishu. If in 2 years, Ravi will be twice as old as Emma, then in 2 years what would be Ravi’s age multiplied by Ishu’s age?
   A. 68
   B. 28
   C. 48
   D. 50
   E. 52
   
   Answer & Explanation

   Answer – C. 48
   Explanation :
   Ravi – x + 4
   Emma – x
   Ishu – x + 2
   (Ravi 4 years older than Emma & 2 years older than Ishu)
   Ages after 2 yrs
   Ravi – x + 6
   Emma – x + 2
   Ishu – x + 4
   x+6 = 2(x + 2)
   x = 2
   Ravi * Ishu = 8 * 6 = 48
   
   
4. Jack is now twice as old as Femina, who is two years older than Suresh. Four years ago, Jack was four times as old as Suresh. How old is Jack now?
   A. 18
   B. 12
   C. 16
   D. 20
   E. 24
   
   Answer & Explanation

   Answer – D. 20
   Explanation :
   j=2f – (i)
   f=s+2.-.(ii)
   four years ago
   j-4=4(s-4)
   putting (ii) in (iii)
   we get j-4 =4(f-2-4)
   sub (i) in above equation we get
   j-4=4(j/2-6) =>j=20

10. Arun will be half as old as Lilly in 3 years. Arun will also be one-third as old as James in 5 years. If James is 15 years older than Lilly, how old is Arun?
    A. 6
    B. 8
    C. 9
    D. 5
    E. 4
    
    Answer & Explanation

    Answer – B. 8
    Explanation :
    let age of Arun =x, Lilly =y James = z
    (x+3) =1/2 *(y+3) so we have 2x-y =-3 -(1)
    (x+5) =1/3 * (z+5) ; => 3x-z=-10 -(2)
    From (1)&(2) we get, x+y-z =-7 -(3)
    we have z =15+y – (4)
    from equation 3 and 4 we get x=8
