View Answer

Option C

Solution:

.F:S

3yr ago 7 : 1.. ..............(1)

Present -3 +0

3yrs after 4 : 1 ...............(2)

We have to Make difference same.

Equation (1) * 3 equation (2) * 6

. F...........S

. 21........ 3

. 24........6

Now difference 24-21 =3, 6-3 = 3 is same.

3=6

1=2
21 = 42

Present age =42+3 = 45 yr

View Answer

Option C

Solution:

—————————–A ———— B

5 years ago ————- 5 ———- 7

10 years hence ——– 4 ———–5

Difference = ——– (-1)——– (-2)

to make these two difference equal multiply the second equation with (7-5)=2

So we get

—————————–A ———— B
5 years ago ————- 5 ———- 7

10 years hence ——– 8 ———–10

Difference = ——– (+3)——– (+3)

3=15 years (5 ago + 10 hence)

1=5 years

=> 5 = 25 years (5 years ago of A)

=>7=35 years (5 years ago of B)

Hence A=25+5=30

B=35+5=40 years

Avg=70/2=35

3. The present age of a son is 40% of his father age. And the age of his mother is 220%

of his age. The average age of three members is 38. Find the present age of mother.

C) 10 years

D) 44 years

E) None of these

View Answer

Option D

Solution:

Son= 40% of father.

F:S=5:2
Mother=220% of son=11/5

M:S=11:5

make F:M:S =25:22:10

avg=(25+22+10)/3=19

19=38

1=2

=>22=44
