1. The sum of the present ages of a father and his son is 60 years. Six years ago, father's age was five times the age of the son. After 6 years, son's age will be

15 years
18 years
20 years
22 years

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

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

2. Ratio of ages of three persons is 4:7:9, Eight years ago, the sum of their ages was 56. Find their present ages.

16,35,36
12,28,36
16,28,27
16,28,36

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let the present ages are 4x, 7x, 9x.
=> (4x-8) + (7x-8) + (9x-8) = 56
=> 20x = 80
=> x = 4

So their present ages are: 16,28,36

3. Ten years ago, P was half of Q in age. If the ratio of their present ages is 3:4, what will be the total of their present ages

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let the present age of P and Q be 3x and 4x respectively.
Ten years ago, P was half of Q in age
=> 2(3x – 10) = (4x – 10)

=> 6x – 20 = 4x – 10

=> 2x = 10

=> x = 5

4. Ten years ago A was half of B in age. If the ratio of their present ages is 3 : 4, what will be the total of their present ages

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let A's age 10 years ago = x years.
Then, B's age 10 years ago = 2x years.
(x + 10) / (2x+ lO) = 3/4
=> x = 5.
So, the total of their present ages =(x + 10 + 2x + 10)
= (3x + 20) = 35 years.

5. 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
