Question 11
The sum of the current ages of Vishal and Armaan is 70 years, 5 years ago. Vishal was twice as old as Armaan. What is Armaan’s current age ?
Let's call Vishal's current age V and Armaan's current age A.
From the information given, we have two equations:
The sum of their current ages is 70 years:
V + A = 70
Five years ago, Vishal was twice as old as Armaan:
V - 5 = 2(A - 5)
Now, we can solve this system of linear equations to find Armaan's current age (A).
First, let's simplify the second equation:
V - 5 = 2(A - 5)
Now, let's solve for V in the first equation:
V = 70 - A
Now, substitute this expression for V in the second equation:
70 - A - 5 = 2(A - 5)
Now, simplify the equation:
65 - A = 2A - 10
Now, add A to both sides:
65 = 3A - 10
Add 10 to both sides:
75 = 3A
Now, divide by 3 to find A (Armaan's current age):
A = 75 / 3
A = 25
So, Armaan's current age is 25 years.
The correct answer is C. 25 years.

Question 12
10 years ago, a father’s age was 3 and 1/2 times that of his son and 10 years from now, the father’s age will be 2 and 1/4 times that of the son. What will be the sum of the ages of the father and the son at present ?
Let the present ages of the father and son be f and s respectively.
10 years ago, their ages were f - 10 and s - 10 respectively.
According to the given information, f - 10 = 3.5(s - 10)
10 years from now, their ages will be f + 10 and s + 10 respectively.
According to the given information, f + 10 = 2.25(s + 10)
Now we have two equations with two unknowns:
Equation 1: f - 10 = 3.5(s - 10) Equation 2: f + 10 = 2.25(s + 10)
Solving for f in Equation 1, we get:
f = 3.5s - 25
Substituting this value of f into Equation 2, we get:
(3.5s - 25) + 10 = 2.25(s + 10)
Simplifying and solving for s, we get:
3.5s - 15 = 2.25s + 22.5
1.25s = 37.5
s = 30
Now that we know s, we can find f using Equation 1:
f - 10 = 3.5(30 - 10)
f - 10 = 70
f = 80
The sum of their present ages is f + s = 80 + 30 = 110
Therefore, the answer is B. 110.

Question 13
The sum of the current ages of Shipra and Malini is 65 years. After 5 years, Shipra's age will be 15 years more than Malini's age. What is Malini's current age ?
Let Shipra's current age be 's' and Malini's current age be 'm'.
We are given that s + m = 65 (Equation 1) and that after 5 years, Shipra's age will be 15 years more than Malini's age. This can be expressed as:
s + 5 = m + 5 + 15
Simplifying:
s + 5 = m + 20
Solving for s:
s = m + 15 (Equation 2)
Substituting Equation 2 into Equation 1, we get:
(m + 15) + m = 65
Combining like terms:
2m + 15 = 65
Subtracting 15 from both sides:
2m = 50
Dividing both sides by 2:
m = 25
Therefore, Malini's current age is A. 25 years.

Question 14
Rishabh is a 10 year old boy. If his mother is 20 years older than him and 6 years younger than his father, then what is his father's age ?
Given that Rishabh is 10 years old and his mother is 20 years older than him, Rishabh's mother's age is 10 + 20 = 30 years old.
We are also given that Rishabh's mother is 6 years younger than his father. This means that Rishabh's father's age is 30 + 6 = 36 years old.
Therefore, the answer is B. 36 years.

Question 15
A run is celebrating his birthday today. On his next birthday, he will be twice his age that was 12 years ago. How old is Arun today ?
Let Arun's current age be 'a'.
We are given that on his next birthday, Arun's age will be twice his age that was 12 years ago. This can be expressed as:
a + 1 = 2(a - 12)
Expanding the right side:
a + 1 = 2a - 24
Solving for 'a':
a = 25
Therefore, Arun's current age is C. 25 years.

Question 16
Raman's age is twice the age of his daughter Shruti. If ten years ago Raman's age was three times to the age of Shruti, then what is the present age of shruti ?
Let Raman's current age be 'r' and Shruti's current age be 's'.
We are given that Raman's age is twice the age of his daughter Shruti. This can be expressed as:
r = 2s (Equation 1)
We are also given that ten years ago, Raman's age was three times Shruti's age. This can be expressed as:
r - 10 = 3(s - 10)
Expanding the right side:
r - 10 = 3s - 30
Solving for 'r':
r = 3s - 20 (Equation 2)
Substituting Equation 2 into Equation 1, we get:
3s - 20 = 2s
Solving for 's':
s = 20
Therefore, Shruti's current age is B. 20 years.

Question 17
After three years, the total age of a mother and son will be 50. The mother's age was 30 before three years. What is her son's present age ?
Let the mother's current age be 'm' and the son's current age be 's'.
We are given that after three years, the total age of the mother and son will be 50.
This can be expressed as:
m + 3 + s + 3 = 50
Simplifying:
m + s = 44 (Equation 1)
We are also given that the mother's age was 30 before three years. This means that the mother's current age is 30 + 3 = 33.
Substituting m = 33 into Equation 1, we get:
33 + s = 44
Solving for 's':
s = 11
Therefore, the son's present age is D. 11 years.

Question 18
The total of the ages of four persons is 86 years. What was their average age 4 years ago ?
The average age of the four persons currently is 86/4 = 21.5 years.
Four years ago, each person was 4 years younger, so their average age would have been 21.5 - 4 = 17.5 years.
Therefore, the answer is C. 17.5 years.

Question 19
The total ages of Ram, Shyam and Adil is 60 years. What was the total of their ages four years ago ?
Let's denote the current ages of Ram, Shyam, and Adil as R, S, and A, respectively. According to the information given:
R + S + A = 60 (The total of their current ages is 60 years)
To find the total of their ages four years ago, you need to subtract 4 years from each of their current ages and then sum them up:
(R - 4) + (S - 4) + (A - 4)
Now, let's simplify this expression:
(R - 4) + (S - 4) + (A - 4) = R + S + A - 12
We already know that R + S + A is 60, so:
60 - 12 = 48
So, the total of their ages four years ago was 48 years.
The correct answer is D. 48 years.

Question 20
Rahul is three times as old as Amar. Amber was half the age of Rahul three years ago. After four years from now, Rahul will be 43. What are the present ages of Amar and Amber ?
Let's denote Rahul's current age as 'R', Amar's current age as 'A', and Amber's current age as 'B'.
We are given that Rahul is three times as old as Amar, which can be expressed as:
R = 3A
We are also given that Amber was half the age of Rahul three years ago. This can be expressed as:
B - 3 = (1/2)(R - 3)
We are also given that after four years, Rahul will be 43. This can be expressed as:
R + 4 = 43
Solving for R, we get:
R = 39
Substituting this value of R into the equation R = 3A, we get:
39 = 3A
Solving for A, we get:
A = 13
Substituting R = 39 into the equation B - 3 = (1/2)(R - 3), we get:
B - 3 = (1/2)(39 - 3)
B - 3 = 18
B = 21
Therefore, the present ages of Amar and Amber are 13 and 21 respectively. The answer is B. 13,21.
