17) Neha's mother was four times her age 12 years ago. She will be twice as old as Neha 12
years from now. What is the present age of Neha's mother ?
a. 49 years
b. 57 years
c. 60 years
d. 65 years
e. None of these
ANSWER: 60 years
Explanation:
Let Neha's present age be 'x' years.
Her age 12 years ago = (x – 12) years
Therefore, her mother's age 12 years ago = 4(x – 12)
Her mother's present age = 4x – 48 + 12 = 4x – 36
Neha's age after 12 years = x + 12
Her mother's age after 12 years = 4x – 36 + 12 = 4x – 24
4x – 24 = 2(x + 12)
4x – 2x = 24 + 24
x = 24
Therefore, Neha's present age = 24
Her mother's present age = 4x – 36 = 4(24) – 36 = 60 years
18) 15 years ago, a father was three times as old as his daughter. Now the father is only twice
as old as his daughter. Find the sum of the present ages of daughter and father.
a. 54
b. 65
c. 90
d. 108
ANSWER: 90
Explanation:
The present age of father and daughter be 2x and x years respectively.
Then, (2x - 15) = 3 (x – 15)
2x – 15 = 3x - 45
x = 30
Required sum = (2x + x) = 3x = 90 years.
19) Ramesh's age after 16 years will be 5 times his age 4 years back. What is the present age
of Ramesh?
a. 9 years
b. 14 years
c. 16 years
d. 21 years
Answer Explanation
ANSWER: 9 years
Explanation:
Lets Ramesh's present age be x years. Then,
Ramesh's age after 16 years = (x + 16) years
Ramesh's age 4 years back = (x – 4) years
Therefore, x + 16 = 5(x – 4)
x+16 = 5x – 20
4x = 36
x=9
Hence, Ramesh's present age = 9 years.

Three times the first of three consecutive odd integers is 3 more than twice the third. The third integer is:
A. 9
B. 11
C. 13
D. 15
Answer: Option D

Let the three integers be x, x + 2 and x + 4.
Then, 3x = 2(x + 4) + 3 x = 11.
Third integer = x + 4 = 15.

Let the ten's and unit digit be x and respectively.
x
8 8
Then, 10x + + 18 = 10 x +x
x x
10x2 + 8 + 18x = 80 + x2
9x2 + 18x - 72 = 0
x2 + 2x - 8 = 0
(x + 4)(x - 2) = 0
x = 2.
A collection of 33 coins, consisting of nickels, dimes, and quarters, has a value of $3.30. If there are three
times as many nickels as quarters, and one-half as many dimes as nickels, how many coins of each kind
are there?
I'll start by picking and defining a variable, and then I'll use translation to convert this exercise into mathematical
expressions.
Nickels are defined in terms of quarters, and dimes are defined in terms of nickels, so I'll pick a variable to stand for the number of
number of nickels: 3q
q + 3q + (3/2)q = 33
4q + (3/2)q = 33
8q + 3q = 66
11q = 66
q=6
number of pennies: p
number of nickels: p
number of dimes: p
The value of the coins is the number of cents for each coin times the number of that type of coin, so:
value of pennies: 1p
value of nickels: 5p
value of dimes: 10p
The total value is $1.44, so I'll add the above, set equal to 144 cents, and solve:
1p + 5p + 10p = 144
16p = 144
p=9
