Question Detail

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

1. Which of following statements are required to answer the Actual age of Abhinav ?
1. Five years ago, Abhinav's age was double that of his son's age at that time.
2. Present ages of Abhinav and his son are in the ratio of 11 : 6 respectively.
3. Five years hence, the respective ratio of Abhinav age and his son's age will become 12 : 7.

1 and 3
2 and 3
Any two of three
None of three

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

From 2nd we get, Present ages of Abhinav and his son is 11x and 6x,

From 1st we get, Abhinav's present age = 2 * Son's age

From 3rd we get, 5 years hence, Abhinav age / Son's age = 12 / 7

From clearly we can get Abhinav age from any of two equations.

2. Ratio between Rahul and Deepak is 4:3, After 6 Years Rahul age will be 26 years. What is Deepak present age.

4. 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

5. 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
