A person's present age is two-fifth of the age of his mother. After 8 years, he will be one-half of the age of his mother. How old is the mother at present

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let A's age 10 years ago = x years.
Then, B's age 10 years ago = 2x years.
(x + 10) / (2x+ lO) = 3/4
=> x = 5.
So, the total of their present ages =(x + 10 + 2x + 10)
= (3x + 20) = 35 years.

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let's take the present age of the elder person = x
and the present age of the younger person = x – 16
(x – 6) = 3 (x-16-6)
=> x – 6 = 3x – 66
=> 2x = 60
=> x = 60/2 = 30

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.

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

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let's Son age is x, then Father age is x+24.
=> 2(x+2) = (x+24+2)
=> 2x+4 = x+26
=> x = 22 years
