Ages of two persons differ by 16 years. If 6 year ago, the elder one be 3 times as old the younger one, find their present age

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let's take the present age of the elder person = x
and the present age of the younger person = x – 16
(x – 6) = 3 (x-16-6)
=> x – 6 = 3x – 66
=> 2x = 60
=> x = 60/2 = 30

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let six years ago the age of Kunal and Sagar are 6x and 5x resp.
then,
\begin{aligned}
=> \frac{(6x+6)+4}{(5x+6)+4} = \frac{11}{10}
\end{aligned}
\begin{aligned}
<=> 10(6x+10) = 11(5x+10)
\end{aligned}
\begin{aligned}
<=> 5x = 10 => x = 2
\end{aligned}

So Sagar age is (5x+6) = 16

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let their ages be x and (x + 20) years.
5 (x - 5) = (x + 20 - 5) or 4x = 40 or x = 10.
Their present ages are 30 years and 10 years

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

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Clue : (60 - x) - 6 = 5(x - 6)
