2904.The sum of ages of 5 children born at the intervals of 3 years each is 50 years. What is the age of the youngest child?
4 years
8 years
10 years
None of these
Explanation:

Let the ages of children be $ x $, $\left( x + 3\right)$, $\left(x + 6\right)$, $\left(x + 9\right)$ and $\left(x + 12\right)$ years.

Then, $ x $ + $\left(x + 3\right)$ + $\left(x + 6\right)$ + $\left(x + 9\right)$ + $\left(x + 12\right)$ = 50

$\Rightarrow$ 5$ x $ = 20

$\Rightarrow x $ = 4.

$\therefore$ Age of the youngest child = $ x $ = 4 years.

2905.My brother is 3 years elder to me. My father was 28 years of age when my sister was born while my mother was 26 years of age when I was born. If my sister was 4 years of age when my brother was born, then what was the age my father when my brother was born?
35 years
34 years
33 years
32 years
Explanation:

Let my age = $x$

Then

My brothers age = $x$ + 3

My mothers age = $x$ + 26

My sisters age = $\left(x + 3\right)$ + 4 = $x$ + 7

My fathers age = $\left(x + 7\right)$ + 28 = $x$ + 35

=> age my father when my brother was born = $x$ + 35 - $\left(x + 3\right)$ = 32

2907.The ratio of the age of a man and his wife is 4:3. At the time of marriage the ratio was 5:3 and After 4 years this ratio will become 9:7. How many years ago were they married?
8 years
10 years
11 years
12 years
Explanation:

Let the present age of the man and his wife be 4$x$ and 3$x$ respectively.

After 4 years this ratio will become 9 : 7

=> $\left(4x + 4\right)$ : $\left(3x + 4\right)$ = 9 : 7

=> 7$\left(4x + 4\right)$ = 9$\left(3x + 4\right)$

=> 28$x$ + 28 = 27$x$ + 36

=> $x$ = 8

Present age of the man = 4$x$ = 4×8 = 32

Present age of his wife = 3$x$ = 3×8 = 24

Assume that they got married before t years. Then

(32 - t) : (24 - t) = 5 : 3

3(32 - t) = 5(24 - t)

=> 96 - 3t = 120 - 5t

=> 2t = 24

=> t = $\dfrac{24}{2}$ = 12

2908.Father is aged three times more than his son Ronit. After 8 years, he would be two and a half times of Ronits age. After further 8 years, how many times would he be of Ronits age?
2 times
2 $ \dfrac{1}{2} $times
2 $ \dfrac{3}{4} $times
3 times
Explanation:

Let Ronits present age be $ x $ years. Then, fathers present age =$\left(x+ 3x\right)$ years = 4$ x $ years.

$\therefore$ $\left(4x+ 8\right)$ =$ \dfrac{5}{2}\left(x+ 8\right)$

$\Rightarrow$ 8$ x $ + 16 = 5$ x $ + 40

$\Rightarrow$ 3$ x $ = 24

$\Rightarrow x $ = 8.

Hence, required ratio =$ \dfrac{(4x + 16)}{(x + 16)} $=$ \dfrac{48}{24} $= 2.
2910.A man is 24 years older than his son. In two years, his age will be twice the age of his son. The present age of his son is:
14 years
18 years
20 years
22 years
Explanation:

Let the sons present age be $ x $ years. Then, mans present age = $\left(x + 24\right)$ years.

$\therefore$ $\left(x + 24\right)$ + 2 = 2$\left(x + 2\right)$

$\Rightarrow x $ + 26 = 2$ x $ + 4

$\Rightarrow x $ = 22.

2911.Ayeshas father was 38 years of age when she was born while her mother was 36 years old when her brother four years younger to her was born. What is the difference between the ages of her parents?
2 years
4 years
6 years
8 years
Explanation:

Mothers age when Ayeshas brother was born = 36 years.

Fathers age when Ayeshas brother was born = (38 + 4) years = 42 years.

$\therefore$ Required difference = (42 - 36) years = 6 years.

2914.A father said to his son, "I was as old as you are at the present at the time of your birth". If the fathers age is 38 years now, the sons age five years back was:
14 years
19 years
33 years
38 years
Explanation:

Let the sons present age be $ x $ years. Then,$\left (38 - x\right)$ = $ x $

$\Rightarrow$ 2$ x $ = 38.

$\Rightarrow x $ = 19.

$\therefore$ Sons age 5 years back (19 - 5) = 14 years.

2920.Present ages of Sameer and Anand are in the ratio of 5 : 4 respectively. Three years hence, the ratio of their ages will become 11 : 9 respectively. What is Anands present age in years?
24
27
40
Cannot be determined
Explanation:

Let the present ages of Sameer and Anand be 5$ x $ years and 4$ x $ years respectively.

Then,$ \dfrac{5x + 3}{4x + 3} $=$ \dfrac{11}{9} $

$\Rightarrow$ 9$\left(5x+ 3\right)$ = 11$\left(4x+ 3\right)$

$\Rightarrow$ 45$ x $ + 27 = 44$ x $ + 33

$\Rightarrow$ 45$ x $ - 44$ x $ = 33 - 27

$\Rightarrow x $ = 6.

$\therefore$ Anands present age = 4$ x $ = 24 years.

2921.Kamal was 4 times as old as his son 8 years ago. After 8 years, Kamal will be twice as old as his son. Find out the present age of Kamal.
40 years
38 years
42 years
36 years
Explanation:

Let the age of the son before 8 years = $x$

Then age of Kamal before 8 years ago = 4$x$

After 8 years, Kamal will be twice as old as his son

=> 4$x$ + 16 = 2$\left(x + 16\right)$

=> $x$ = 8

Present age of Kamal = 4$x$ + 8 = 4×8 + 8 = 40

2922.If 6 years are subtracted from the present age of Ajay and the remainder is divided by 18, then the present age of Rahul is obtained. If Rahul is 2 years younger to Denis whose age is 5 years, then what is Ajay s present age?
50 years
60 years
55 years
62 years
Explanation:

Present age of Denis = 5 years

Present age of Rahul = 5 - 2 = 3

Let the present age of Ajay = $x$

Then $\dfrac{x-6}{18}$ = present age of Rahul = 3

=> $x$ - 6 = 3×18 = 54

=> $x$ = 54 + 6= 60
