Present age is 4x and 3x,
=> 4x + 6 = 26 => x = 5

So Deepak age is = 3(5) = 15

1. Tanya's grandfather was 8 times older to her 16 years ago. He would be 3 times of her age 8 years from now. What was ratio of ages of Tanya and her grandfather 8 years ago.

11:50
11:51
11:53
11:54

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let, Tanya age 16 years ago = x,
Grandfather's age 16 years ago = 8x.

8 years from now, 3(x+16+8) = (8x+16+8)
=> x = 48/5

8 years ago ratio was:

\begin{aligned}
=> \frac{x+8}{8x+8} = \frac{\frac{48}{5}+8}{8 \times \frac{48}{5}+8}
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
=> \frac{88}{424} = \frac{11}{53}
\end{aligned}

2. 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

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

3. The ages of two persons differ by 16 years. 6 years ago, the elder one was 3 times as old as the younger one. What are their present ages of the elder person

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

4. The total age of A and B is 12 years more than the total age of B and C. C is how many year younger than A

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Given that A+B = 12 + B + C
=> A – C = 12 + B – B = 12
=> C is younger than A by 12 years

5. The ages of two persons differ by 20 years. If 5 years ago, the elder one be 5 times as old as the younger one, their present ages (in years) are respectively

20,20
20,10
25,15
30,10

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
