Question Detail

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

  • 20 years
  • 21 years
  • 22 years
  • 24 years

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

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

1. The ratio between the present ages of P and Q is 6:7. If Q is 4 years old than P, what will be the ratio of the ages of P and Q after 4 years

  • 7:8
  • 7:9
  • 3:8
  • 5:8

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let P age and Q age is 6x years and 7x years.
Then 7x - 6x = 4 <=> x = 4

So required ratio will be (6x+4): (7x+4) => 28:32 => 7:8

2. The sum of the ages of a father and son is 45 years. Five years ago, the product of their ages was four times the fathers age at that time. The present age of father and son

  • 34,11
  • 35,10
  • 36,9
  • 40,5

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let sons age = x years. Then fathers age = (45 - x)years.
(x—5)(45—x—5) = 4(45- x - 5) hence (x—5) = 4 so x = 9
Their ages are 36 years and 9 years.

=> 2x+4 = x+26
=> x = 22 years
