The ages of two persons differ by 20 years. If 5 years ago, the elder one be 5 times as old as the younger one, their present ages (in years) are respectively

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 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

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

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

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

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.
