MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

30 sec • 1 pt

Father is four times the age of his daughter. If after 5 years, he would be threee times of daughter’s age, then further after 5 years, how many times he would be of his daughter’s age?

1.5 times

2 times

2.5 times

3 times

Answer explanation

Let father's age = x

Daughter's age = y

x = 4y

x + 5 = 3(y + 5).

4y+5 = 3y + 15

y = 10

Hence present age of daughter is 10 years and present age of father is 40 years.

So after 5 + 5 = 10 years, daughter age would be 20 years and father’s age would be 50 years.

Hence father would be 50/20 = 2.5 times of daughter’s age.

13.3

6.7

10

7.7

Answer explanation

Aman's present age be x

before 10 years = x - 10

after 20 years = (x + 20)

x + 20 = 10 (x – 10)

x + 20 = 10x – 100

9x = 120,

x = 13.3 years

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Nisha is 15 years elder to Romi. If 5 years ago, Nisha was 3 times as old as Romi, then find Nisha’s present age.

32.5

27.5

25

24.9

Answer explanation

Let

Age of Nisha be x

age of Romi be y

x = (y + 15).

5 years ago x - 5 = 3(y– 5).

(y + 15) – 5 = 3 (y – 5)

(y + 10) = (3y – 15)

2y = 25 ⇒ y = 12.5

Romi's age = 12.5 years

Nisha's age x = (y + 15) = (12.5 + 15) = 27.5

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

One year ago, the ratio of Honey and Piyush ages was 2: 3 respectively. After five years from now, this ratio becomes 4: 5. How old is Piyush now?

5

25

10

15

Answer explanation

Age ratio of H : P = 2: 3

H = 2x and P= 3x

One year ago, their age was 2x and 3x.

Now, H = 2x +1 and P = 3x +1

After 5 years, H = (2x +1) + 5 = (2x + 6)

P= (3x +1) + 5 = (3x + 6)

After 5 years, this ratio becomes 4: 5. Therefore,

(2x+6) / (3x+6) = 4/5

10x + 30 = 12x + 24

⇒ x = 3

P = (3x + 1) = (3x 3 + 1) = 10 years

Ten years ago, the age of mother was three times the age of her son. After ten years, mother’s age will be twice that of his son. Find the ratio of their present ages.

11:7

9:5

7:9

7:3

Answer explanation

At present age of Mother be x and

Son's age be y.

10 years ago, x-10 = 3(y-10)

x - 10 = 3y -30

x - 3y = -20 ....... (1)

After ten years, x+10 = 2 (y+10)

x+10 = 2y +20

x - 2y = 10........ (2)

Solving the equation 1 & 2

, we get y = 30

and x = 70

x:y = 70: 30 = 7: 3.
