Ages

Important Formulas on "Problems on Ages" :

1. If the current age is x, then n times the age is nx.
2. If the current age is x, then age n years later/hence = x + n.
3. If the current age is x, then age n years ago = x - n.
4. The ages in a ratio a : b will be ax and bx.
1 of the age x
5. If the current age is x, then .
n is n

Basic Formulas on Ages

1.If the present age is x, then n times the age is nx.
2.If the present age is x, then age n years later/hence
=  x  +  n.
3.If the present age is x, then age n years ago = x – n.
4.The ages in a ratio a : b will be ax and bx.
5.If the present age is x,  then \frac{1}{2} \21  of age
is \frac{x}{n} \nx 

Ages Formulas and Concept on Problems on Ages

1. x years ago the age of A was n1 times the age of B, and at

present A’s age is n2 times that of B, then;
A’s current = (n1 – 1) / (n1 – n2) n2*x years.
and, B’s current age = (n1 – 1) / (n1 – n2) x years.

2. The present age of A is n1 times the present age of B. After x

years, age of A becomes n2 times the age of B, then;
A’s current = (n2 – 1) / (n1 – n2) n2*x years.
and, B’s current age = (n2 – 1) / (n1 – n2) x years.
3. t1 years ago, the age of A was X times the age of B and after
t2 years age of A becomes Y times the age of B, then;
A’s present age ={ X(t1+t2) (Y-1) }/ (X-Y) + t1 years
And B’s present age = {t2(Y-1)+ t1(X-1)} / (X-Y) years

4. The sum of present ages of A and B is X years, t years after,

the age of A becomes Y times the age of B, then;
A’s present age = XY + t(Y-1)/ (Y+1) years
And B’s present age= X-t (Y-1)/ (Y+1) years

5. The ratio of the present ages of A and B is p: q and after t

years, it becomes r: s, then;
A’s present age = pt(r-s)/(ps-qr) years.
And, B’s present age = qt(r-s)/ (ps-qr) years

6. The sum of present ages of A and B is X years, t years ago,

the age of A was Y times the age of B, then;
Present age of A = XY+t(Y-1)/(Y-1) years
And, the present age of B = X+t(Y-1)/(Y+1) years
Points to remember:
1) t years ago the age of A was n 1 times the age of B, and at present A's
age is n2 times that of B, then;

A's present age =  n2∗t years

And, B's present age =  t years

2) The present age of A is n1 times the present age of B. After t years, age
of A becomes n2 times the age of B, then;

A's present age =  n2 ∗ t years

And, B's present age =  t years

3) t1 years ago, the age of A was X times the age of B and after t 2 years
age of A becomes Y times the age of B, then;

A's present age =  + t1 years

And B's present age =  years

4) The sum of present ages of A and B is X years, t years ago, the age of A
was Y times the age of B, then;

Present age of A =  Years

And, the present age of B =  Years
