x + 10 = 4x - 20 Sum of age of Y and Z is 60 i.e. (Y + Z) = 60
= > 3x = 30 Y–X=X–Z
Hence, Anju's present age = x = 10 years. (Y + Z) = 2X
Now given that (Y + Z) = 60
9. Solution (2) So, 60 = 2X
Let, Ages of Laxmi and Priya 5 years ago was 4A and therefore X = 30
and A years correspondingly. Question is (Y – X) = ?
Then current age of Laxmi and Priya is (4A + 5) & Here we know the value (age) of X (30), but we
(A + 5) don't know the age of Y.
Then according to question, Therefore, (Y – X) cannot be determined.
[(4A + 5) + 8] – [(A + 5) + 8] = 12
(4A + 13) – (A + 13) = 12 13 Solution (1)
4A + 13 – A – 13 = 12 Let their present ages be 5x, 8x and 9x years
3A = 12 respectively.
=> A = 4 Then, (5x – 6) + (8x – 6) + (9x – 6) = 48
Required Ratio = (4A +5) : (A + 5) = 21 : 9 ⇒ 22x = 66
=7:3 ⇒ x = 3.
Their present ages are 5x = 15 years, 8x = 24
10. Solution (3) years and 9x = 27 years respectively.
Let A’s present age be x years and B’s present age
be y years. 14. Solution (3)
Then, according to the first condition, Mother's age when A's brother was born = 28
x – 20 = 3(y – 20) years.
x – 20 = 3y – 60 Father's age when A's brother was born = (32 + 3)
x – 3y = – 40……..(i) years = 35 years.
Now, A’s age after 20 years = (x + 20) years Required difference = (35 – 28) years = 7 years.
B’s age after 20 years = (y + 20)
(x + 20) = 2(y + 20) 15. Solution (2)
x + 20 = 2y + 40 Let the Present age of Akshay is x
or x – 2y = 20 ……(ii) Tarun's age = 9 – 3 = 6 years
Solving (i) and (ii), x −8
=6
5y = 60 12
y = 12 and x = 140 x – 8 = 72
A’s age = 140 years and B’s age = 12 years. x = 80
Akshay's present age = 80 years
11. Solution (1)
Let Jhanvi's age = x yrs. 16. Solution (3)
From the given conditions, Let A's age at the time of his marriage = x years
x + 2 = 3 (x – 12) Then from given data
x + 2 = 3x – 36 6
=> x + 6 = x
2x = 38 5
x = 19 years 5x + 30 = 6x
x = 30

Average =
total number of observation = 160 + 56
Let the average of 9 people be x kg = 216
And the weight of the new person be y kg 216
Average age of 5 persons = = 43.2 years
Sum of 9 people weight is 5
⇒ 9 × x = 9x kg

Total runs scored in 40 overs = 5.6× 40 = 224 runs person who weighs
Let run rate in the remaining 10 overs = x runs ( 2m + ) then their average weight increased by 5
Then according to question kg
224 + x × 10 = 256 runs So total increase in weight is = (m + 4) × 5
10x = 32 So according to question
x = 3.2 runs (m + 4) × 5 = 65 – (2m + 3)
5m + 20 = 65 – 2m – 3
44. Solution (2) 7m = 42
Given, m=6
Total runs scored by team A = 5.6 × 20 + 4.5 × 30 Total number of persons is (m + 4) = 10
=> 112 + 135 = 247
Then according to question, 48. Solution (2)
