6.The sum of ages of 5 children born at intervals of 3 years each is 50 years. What is the age of the
youngest child? Ans: 4

Solution:

Let, the ages of children be x, (x+3), (x+6), (x+9) and (x + 12) years

. Then, x + (x + 3) + (x + 6) + (x + 9) + (x + 12 ) = 50

So, 5x = 20 or, x = 4. So. Age of the youngest child=x=4 years.

7.The sum of the present ages of a father and his son is 60 years. Six years ago, father's age was five
time the age of the son. After 6 years, son's age will be-Ans: 20 years

Solution:

Let, the age of son 6 years ago was = x, So, age of father at that time = 5x

23) The ages of Samina and Suhana are in the ratio of 7:3 respectively. After 6 years, the ratio of
their ages will be 5:3. What is the difference in their ages?

Solution:

Let the age of Samina & Suhana respectively =7x and 3x

ATQ, 7x + 6:3x + 6 =5:3

Or, (7x + 6)/(3x + 6) = 5/3

Or, 21x + 18 = 15x + 30 or, 6x = 12

So, x = 2

:. Difference of their age = 7x-3x = 4x = 4x2 = 8 years.

24) Rahim is 40 years old and Karim is 60 years old. How many years ago was the ratio of their
ages 3 : 5?
Solution :

Let, before x year ago ratio of their ages = 3:5

ATQ, 40-x:60-x= 3:5

40-x/60-x= 3/5

or, 189-3x= 200-5x

or,2x=20

or ,x=10

25) Five years ago, the average age of A, B, C and D was 45 years. With E Joining them now, the
average of all the five is 49 years. The age of E is?

Solution:

5 years ago average age of A .B.C. D = 45 years.

So total was 45 x 4 = 180 years ..

Total present age of A, B, C D = 180 + 5 * 4 = 200ye

Total age after E joining with them 49 * 5 = 245

So E's age s 245-200=45 years.

26)the average age of a couple was 26 years at the time of marriage. After 11 years of marriage,
the average age of the family with 3 children become 19 years. The average age of the children

ত ২ বছর ছদয়া আনছ।) Two years age
Babul's age was = x - 2 - 2 = x - 4

According to the question, x = 2(x - 4) [সাছমনরর বর্তমাে বয়স = ২x বাবুনের দু বছর আনের বয়স]

Or x = 2x - 8

So, x = 8

So, Samir's present age is 8 years:

Ans: 8

29) The average age of A, B and C is 30 years. If the difference between B's age and A's age is
same as the difference between C's age and B's age. If D is 40 years older than B then what is
the sum of the age of B and D?

Solution :

A + B + C = 3 * 30 .

A + C + B = 90 - - (i)

Again, B-A=C-B

or,2B=A+C

So, A + C = 2B

Putting this value of A+C in (i)

2B + B =90

3B=90

therefore B=30

Since D is 40 years older than B

So age of D = 30 + 40 = 70 years
So, sum of B and D =30+70=100years

30) 8 years ago, the ratio of A's age to B's age was 4: 5. At present the ratio of B's age to C's age
is 4: 5. At present, the difference between A's age and C's age is 20 years, then what is the sum
of the ages of A Band C?

Solution :

Let, the age of A & B 8 years ago 4x & 5x respectively So, present age of A & B = 4x + 8 and
5x+8

Since ratio of present age of B & C is 4:5 So, present age of C= (5x + 8) × 5/4 = (25x+ 40)/4
[বযাখা: B cong C এর বয়নসর অেুপার্ 4:5 ছক 4y এবাং 5y ধরনে, 4y = (5x + 8) হনে

ATQ. (25x + 40)/4 -(4x+8)=20

or,(25x + 40)/4 =4x+28

or,25x+40=16x +112

or, 9x = 72

So x=8

So, present age of A=4x8+8=40

B = 5 ×8 + 8 = 48

C=(25×8+40)/4= 60

Sum of A,B,C = 40+48+60

=148 years
