Question 351. Ayesha's father was 38 years of age when she was born while her mother was 36 years old when her brother four years younger to her was born. What is the difference between the ages of her parents?
  1.    2 years
  2.    4 years
  3.    6 years
  4.    8 years
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 6 years
Mother's age when Ayesha's brother was born = 36 years.
Father's age when Ayesha's brother was born = (38 + 4) years = 42 years.
∴ Required difference = (42 - 36) years = 6 years.
Question 352. The age of father 10 years ago was thrice the age of his son. Ten years hence, father's age will be twice that of his son. The ratio of their present ages is:
  1.    5 : 2
  2.    7 : 3
  3.    9 : 2
  4.    13 : 4
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 7 : 3
Let the ages of father and son 10 years ago be 3x and x years respectively.
Then, (3x + 10) + 10 = 2[(x + 10) + 10]
⇒ 3x + 20 = 2x + 40
⇒ x = 20
∴ Required ratio
= (3x + 10) : (x + 10)
= 70 : 30
= 7 : 3
Question 353. 6 years ago , the ratio of the ages of Kunal and Sagar was 6 : 5. Four years hence, the ratio of their ages will be 11 : 10. What is Sagar's age at present ?
  1.    16 years
  2.    18 years
  3.    20 years
  4.    Cannot be determined
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 16 years
Let the ages of Kunal and Sagar 6 years ago be 6x and 5x years Then,
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{{\left( {6x + 6} \right) + 4}}{{\left( {5x + 6} \right) + 4}} = \frac{{11}}{{10}} \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{{6x + 10}}{{5x + 10}} = \frac{{11}}{{10}} \cr
& \Rightarrow 10\left( {6x + 10} \right) = 11\left( {5x + 10} \right) \cr
& \Rightarrow 60x + 100 = 55x + 100 \cr
& \Rightarrow 5x = 10 \cr
& \Rightarrow x = 2 \cr} $$
Sagar's present age = (5x + 6) years = (5 × 2 + 6) years = 16 years
Question 354. Sneh's age is $$\frac{1}{6}$$ th of her father's age. Sneh's father's age will be twice of Vimal's age after 10 years. If Vimal's 8th birthday was celebrated 2 years ago,then what is Sneh's present age ?
  1.    $${\text{6}}\frac{2}{3}{\text{ }}$$ years
  2.    10 years
  3.    12 years
  4.    15 years
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> $${\text{6}}\frac{2}{3}{\text{ }}$$ years
Vimal's present age = (8 + 2) years = 10 years
Sneh's father's age = 2(10 + 10) years = 40 years
Sneh's age
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{ = }}\left( {\frac{1}{6} \times 40} \right){\text{ years }} \cr
& {\text{ = }}\frac{{20}}{3}{\text{years }} \cr
& {\text{ = 6}}\frac{2}{3}{\text{years}} \cr} $$
Question 355. Eight year ago, Poorvi's age was equal to the sum of the present ages of her one son and one daughter. Five years hence, the respective ratio between the ages of her daughter and her son that time will be 7 : 6. If Poorvi's husband is 7 years elder to her and his present age is three times the present age of their son, what is the present age of the daughter ? (in year)
  1.    15 years
  2.    23 years
  3.    19 years
  4.    27 years
  5.    13 years
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 23 years
Let the age of the son and the daughter of Poorvi be 6a years and 7a years respectively.
5 years hence, present age of son = 6a - 5 and present age of daughter = 7a - 5
According to the question,
Eight years ago, the age of Poorvi = 6a - 5 + 7a - 5 = 13a - 10
So, present age of Poorvi = 13a - 10 + 8 = 13a - 2
Since, present age of Poorvi husband = 3 (6a - 5)
The difference of present age of Poorvi husband and Poorvi = 7 (Given)
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{3}}\left( {6a - 5} \right) - \left( {13a - 2} \right) = 7 \cr
& \Rightarrow 18a - 15 - 13a + 2 = 7 \cr
& \Rightarrow 5a = 20 \cr
& \Rightarrow a = 4 \cr} $$
The present age of daughter
= (7a - 5)
= 7 × 4 - 5
= 23 years
Question 356. X's age 3 years ago was three times the present age of Y. At present Z's age is twice the age of Y. Also Z is 12 years younger than X. What is the present age of Z ?
  1.    15 years
  2.    24 years
  3.    12 years
  4.    18 years
  5.    6 years
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 18 years
Let the present age of Y be a years
Three years ago X's age = 3a years
Then, present age of X is (3a + 3)
Z's present age = 2a
According to question
Now, (3a + 3) - 2a = 12
a = 9 year
∴ Present age of Z = 2a = 2 × 9 = 18 years
Question 357. The ages of Sulekha and Arunima are in the ratio 9 : 8 respectively. After 5 years, the ratio of their ages will be 10 : 9. What is the difference in their ages ?
  1.    4 years
  2.    5 years
  3.    6 years
  4.    7 years
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 5 years
Let Sulekha age be 9 year,Then Arunima's age = 8x years
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{{9x + 5}}{{8x + 5}} = \frac{{10}}{9} \cr
& \Rightarrow 9\left( {9x + 5} \right) = 10\left( {8x + 5} \right) \cr
& \Rightarrow 81x + 45 = 80x + 50 \cr
& \Rightarrow x = 5 \cr} $$
Difference in their ages = (9x - 8x) years = x years = 5 years
Question 358. The ages of A and B are in the ratio 6 : 5 and the sum of their ages is 44 years. What will be the ratio of their ages after 8 years ?
  1.    7 : 6
  2.    8 : 7
  3.    9 : 8
  4.    3 : 4
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 8 : 7
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{A's age = }}\left( {44 \times \frac{6}{{11}}} \right){\text{years}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\text{ = 24 years}} \cr
& {\text{And B's age = }}\left( {44 - 24} \right){\text{years}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\text{ = 20 years}} \cr} $$
Ratio of their ages after 8 years
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{ = }}\frac{{\left( {24 + 8} \right)}}{{\left( {20 + 8} \right)}} \cr
& = \frac{{32}}{{28}} \cr
& = \frac{8}{7} \cr
& = 8:7 \cr} $$
Question 359. The ages of Nitish and Vinnee are in the ratio 6 : 5 respectively. After 9 years the ratio of their ages will be 9 : 8. What is the difference in their ages now ?
  1.    3 Years
  2.    5 Years
  3.    7 Years
  4.    9 Years
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 3 Years
Let Nishi's age be 6x years,
Then Vinnee's age = 5x years
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore \frac{{6x + 9}}{{5x + 9}} = \frac{9}{8} \cr
& \Rightarrow 8\left( {6x + 9} \right) = 9\left( {5x + 9} \right) \cr
& \Rightarrow 48x - 45x = 81 - 72 \cr
& \Rightarrow 3x = 9 \cr
& \Rightarrow x = 3 \cr
& {\text{Difference in their ages}} \cr
& {\text{ = }}\left( {6x - 5x} \right) \cr
& = x {\text{ years}} \cr
& = {\text{3 years}} \cr} $$
Question 360. The ages of Shakti and Kanti are in the ratio of 8 : 7 respectively. After 10 years, the ratio of their ages will be 13 : 12. What is the difference between their ages ?
  1.    2 Years
  2.    4 Years
  3.    8 Years
  4.    6 Years
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 2 Years
Let Shakti's age be 8$$x$$ years,
Then Kanti's age = 7$$x$$ years
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore \frac{{8x + 10}}{{7x + 10}} = \frac{{13}}{{12}} \cr
& \Rightarrow 12\left( {8x + 10} \right) = 13\left( {7x + 10} \right) \cr
& \Rightarrow 96x + 120 = 91x + 130 \cr
& \Rightarrow 5x = 10 \cr
& \Rightarrow x = 2 \cr} $$
Difference between their ages
$$\eqalign{
& = \left( {8x - 7x} \right) \cr
& = {\text{ }}x\,{\text{years}} \cr
& {\text{ = 2}}\,{\text{years}} \cr} $$
