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 C

Explanation:

Clearly,
x+15 = 5(x-5)
<=> 4x = 40 => x = 10

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}

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

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the age of younger person is x,
Then elder person age is (x+16)
=> 3(x-6) = (x+16-6) [6 years before]
=> 3x-18 = x+10
=> x = 14.
So other person age is x + 16 = 30

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the mother's present age be x years.
Then, the person's present age = (2/5 x) years.

=> (2/5 x + 8/2) = 1 (x + 8)
=> 2(2x + 40) = 5(x + 8)
=> x = 40
