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

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. Sushil was thrice as old as Snehal 6 years back. Sushil will be times as old as Snehal 6 years hence. How old is Snehal today

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let Snehals age 6 years back = x.
Then, Sushils age 6 years back = 3x.
(5/3) * (X + 6 + 6) = (3X + 6 + 6)
So 5(x+ 12) = 3(3x+ 12),
so x=6.
Snehal Age = (x+ 6) years = 12 years

3. 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}

4. 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.

5. In 10 years, A will be twice as old5as B was 10 years ago. If A is now 9 years older than B, the present age of B is

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let B's age = x years.
Then, As age = (x+ 9) years.
(x+9+10)=2(x—10)
hence x=39.
Present age of B = 39 years
