    B. 17
    C. 18
    D. 19
    E. 16
    Answer – A. 15
    Explanation :
    Present ages of son and Suresh be x and (60 -x) years respectively.
    (60 – x) – 5= 4(x – 5)
    55 – x = 4x – 20
    5x = 75
    x = 15

  2. In a college, the average age of students of a class is 15.8 years. The average age of boys in the class is 16.4 years and that of the girls is 15.4 years. The ratio of number of boys to the number of girls in the class is
    A. 3:5
    B. 2:3
    C. 2:1
    D. 2:7
    E. 3:2
    Answer – B. 2:3
    Explanation :
    Number of boys = x
    Number of boys = y
    (x*16.4 + y*15.4)/x + y = 15.8
    16.4x + 15.4y = 15.8x + 15.8y
    0.6x = 0.4y
    x:y = 2:3

  3. If two times of the Ria’s age in years is included to her mother’s age, the total is 70 and if two times of the mother’s age is included to the Ria’s age, the total is 95. So what is the age of Ria’s Mother?
    A. 55
    B. 35
    C. 45
    D. 40
    E. 50
    Answer – D. 40
    Explanation :
    Ria’s age = x ; Ria’s mother age = y
    2x+y = 70 and x+2y = 95
    y = 40.

  4. Eight years ago Ravi’s mother was five times older than her daughter. After Eight years Ravi’s mother will be twice older than her daughter. Find the present age of Ravi?
    A. 18.33 years
    B. 12.5 years
    C. 16.7 years
    D. 13.33 years
    E. 14.5 years
    Answer – D. 13.33 years
    Explanation :
    Eight years ago, Ravi’s age = x
    Eight years ago, Ravi’s Mother age = 5x
    2(x+16) = 5x+16
    2x+32 = 5x+16
    x=16/3
    Present age of Ravi = 16/3 + 8 = 13.33 years

  5. The ratio of Arun’s and Varun’s ages is 4:5. If the difference between the present age of Varun and the age of Arun 5 years hence is 3 years, then what is the total of present ages of Arun and Varun?
    A. 73 years
    B. 72 years
    C. 75 years
    D. 69 years
    E. 68 years
    Answer – B. 72 years
    Explanation :
    Arun’s age = x
    Varun’s age = y
    x/y = 4/5
    y – (x + 5) = 3
    y – x = 8
    y = 8 + x
    x/8 + x = 4/5
    x = 32 years
    y = 40 years.
    x + y = 72 years.

  6. The ages of Ashwini, Kavitha and Chitra together are 57 years. Kavitha is thrice as old as Ashwini and Chitra is 12 years older than Ashwini. Then, what is the ratio of respective age of Ashwini, Kavitha and Chitra is?
    A. 3 : 9 : 7
    B. 3 : 9 : 2
    C. 3 : 9 : 4
    D. 3 : 9 : 5
    E. 3 : 9 : 8
    Answer – A. 3 : 9 : 7
    Explanation:
    Ashwini’s age = X
    Chitra’s age = x+12
    Kavitha’s age = 3x
    x + (x+12) + 3x = 57
    => 5x = 45
    x = 9
    Anushka’s age = 9
    Kavitha’s age = 3x = 27
    Chitra’s age = x+12 = 21; Ratio = 3:9:7

  7. 8 years ago, Arun’s age was 4/3 times that of Vinoth. 8 years hence, Arun’s age will be 6/5 times that of Vinoth. What is the present age of Arun?
    A. 20
    B. 25
    C. 30
    D. 35
    E. 40
    Answer – E. 40
    Explanation :
    Present age of Arun = x
    Present age of Vinoth = y
    x – 8 = 4/3 (y – 8)
    x + 8 = 6/5 (y + 8)
    3/4(x – 8) = y – 8
    5/6(x + 8) = y + 8
    y = 3/4 (x – 8) + 8 = 5/6 (x + 8) – 8
    10 – 20/3 = 10/12 x – 9/12 x
    10/3 = x/12
    x = 40.

    X = 40.
    Present age of Suresh = 48
    Suresh’s Sister age = 48 – 10 = 38 years.

  10. Ratio of the ages of Mani and Naveen is 5 : A. Mani is 18 years younger to Ravi. After nine years Ravi will be 47 years old. If the difference between the ages of Mani and Naveen is same as the age of Ravi, what is the value of A?
    A. 16.5
    B. 18.5
    C. 19.5
    D. 15.5
    E. 14.5
    Answer – E. 14.5
    Explanation :
    Present ages of Mani, Naveen and Ravi be x, y and z respectively.
    x/y = 5/A —— (1)
    x = z – 18 —— (2)
    z + 9 = 47 —— (3)
    x – y = z —– (4)
    From (1) (2) (3) and (4)
    4A = 58 => A = 14.5
