Problems on ages

Instructor: Abhisek Dutta


1. The present age of a father is 3 years more than three
times the age of his son. Three years hence, father’s age
will be 10 years more than twice the age of the son. Find
the present age of the father.

Solution: Let the present age be ‘x’ years.


Then father’s present age is 3x+3 years.
Three years hence
(3x+3)+3=2(x+3)+10
x=10
Hence father’s present age = 3x+3 = 33 years.
2. One year ago the ratio of Ramu & Somu age was
6:7respectively. Four years hence their ratio would
become 7:8. How old is Somu.

Solution: Let us assume Ramu &Somu ages are x &y


respectively.
One year ago their ratio was 6:7
i.e x-1 / y-1 = 7x-6y=1
Four years hence their ratios,would become 7:8
i.e x-4 / y-4 = 7 / 8
8x-7y=-4
From the above two equations we get y= 36 years.
i.e Somu present age is 36 years.
3. The total age of A &B is 12 years more than the total
age of B&C.
C is how many year younger than A.

Solution: From the given data


A+B = 12+(B+C)
A+B-(B+C) = 12
A-C=12 years.
C is 12 years younger than A
4. The ratio of the present age of P & Q is 6:7. If Q is 4
years old than P. what will be the ratio of the ages of P
& Q after 4 years.

Solution: The present age of P & Q is 6:7 i.e


P/Q=6/7
Q is 4 years old than P i.e Q = P+4.
P/ P+4 = 6/7
7P-6P = 24,
P = 24 , Q = P+4 =24+4 = 28
After 4 years the ratio of P &Q is
P+4:Q+4
24+4 : 28+4 = 28:32 = 7:8
5. The ratio of the age of a man & his wife is
4:3.After 4 years this ratio will be 9:7. If the time
of marriage the ratio was 5:3, then how many
years ago were they married.
Solution: The age of a man is 4x .
The age of his wife is 3x.
After 4 years their ratio’s will be 9:7 i.e
4x+4 / 3x+4 = 9 / 7
28x-27x=36-28
x = 8.
Age of a man is 4x = 4*8 = 32 years.
Age of his wife is 3x = 3*8 = 24 years.
Let us assume ‘y’ years ago they were married ,
the ratio was 5:3 ,i.e
32-y / 24-y = 5/ 3
y=12 years
i.e 12 years ago they were married
6. Sneh’s age is 1/6th of her father’s age. Sneh’s father’s age
will be twice the age of Vimal’s age after 10 years. If
Vimal’s eight birthday was celebrated two years before,
then what is Sneh’s present age.
Solution: Assume Sneh’s age is ‘x’ years.
Assume her fathers age is ‘y’ years.
Sneh’s age is 1/6 of her fathers age i.e x = y /6.
Father’s age will be twice of Vimal’s age after 10
years.
i.e y+10 = 2( V+10)( where ‘V’ is the Vimal’s age)
Vimal’s eight birthday was celebrated two years before,
Then the Vimal’s present age is 10 years.
Y+10 = 2(10+10)
Y=30 years.
Sneh’s present age x = y/6
x = 30/6 = 5 years.
Sneh’s present age is 5 years.
7.The sum of the ages of the 5 children’s born at the
intervals of 3 years each is 50 years what is the age of
the youngest child.

Solution: Let the age of the children’s be


x ,x+3, x+6, x+9, x+12.
x+(x+3)+(x+6)+(x+9)+(x+12) = 50
5x+30 = 50
5x = 20
x=4.
Age of the youngest child is x = 4 years.
8. If 6 years are subtracted from the present age of
Gagan and the remainder is divided by 18,then the
present age of his grandson Anup is obtained. If Anup
is 2 years younger to Madan whose age is 5 years, then
what is Gagan’s present age.

Solution: Let us assume Gagan present age is ‘x’ years.


Anup age = 5-2 = 3 years.
(x-6) / 18 = 3
x-6 = 54
x=60 years
9.My brother is 3 years elder to me. My father was 28
years of age when my sister was born while my father
was 26 years of age when I was born. If my sister was 4
years of age when my brother was born, then what was
the age my father and mother respectively when my
brother was born.

Solution: My brother was born 3 years before I was born & 4


years after my sister was born.
Father’s age when brother was born = 28+4 = 32 years.
Mother’s age when brother was born = 26-3 = 23 years.
