2906.At present, the ratio between the ages of Arun and Deepak is 4 : 3. After 6 years, Aruns age will be 26 years. What is the age of Deepak at present ?
12 years
15 years
19 and half
21 years
Explanation:

Let the present ages of Arun and Deepak be 4$ x $ years and 3$ x $ years respectively. Then,

4$ x $ + 6 = 26    $\Leftrightarrow$    4$ x $ = 20

$ x $ = 5.

$\therefore$ Deepaks age = 3$ x $ = 15 years.

2909.Six years ago, the ratio of the ages of Kunal and Sagar was 6 : 5. Four years hence, the ratio of their ages will be 11 : 10. What is Sagars age at present?
16 years
18 years
20 years
Cannot be determined
Explanation:

Let the ages of Kunal and Sagar 6 years ago be 6$ x $ and 5$ x $ years respectively.

Then,$ \dfrac{(6x + 6) + 4}{(5x + 6) + 4} $=$ \dfrac{11}{10} $

$\Rightarrow$ 10$\left(6x + 10\right)$ = 11$\left(5x + 10\right)$

$\Rightarrow$ 5$ x $ = 10

$\Rightarrow x $ = 2.

$\therefore$ Sagars present age = $\left(5x + 6\right)$ = 16 years.

2912.Ten years ago, P was half of Qs age. If the ratio of their present ages is 3:4, what will be the total of their present ages?
45
40
35
30
Explanation:

Let the present age of P and Q be 3x and 4x respectively.

Ten years ago, P was half of Qs age

=> $\left(3x - 10\right)$ = $\dfrac{1}{2}(4x - 10)$

=> 6x - 20 = 4x - 10

=> 2x = 10

=> x = 5

total of their present ages = 3x + 4x = 7x = 7 × 5 = 35

2913.The present ages of three persons in proportions 4 : 7 : 9. Eight years ago, the sum of their ages was 56. Find their present ages [in years].
8, 20, 28
16, 28, 36
20, 35, 45
None of these
Explanation:

Let their present ages be 4$ x $, 7$ x $ and 9$ x $ years respectively.

Then, $\left(4x- 8\right)$ + $\left(7x - 8\right)$ + $\left(9x- 8\right)$ = 56

$\Rightarrow$ 20$ x $ = 80

$\Rightarrow x $ = 4.

$\therefore$ Their present ages are 4$ x $ = 16 years, 7$ x $ = 28 years and 9$ x $ = 36 years respectively.

2915.The sum of the present ages of a father and his son is 60 years. Six years ago, fathers age was five times the age of the son. After 6 years, sons age will be:
12 years
14 years
18 years
20 years
Explanation:

Let the present ages of son and father be $ x $ and $\left(60 -x\right)$ years respectively.

Then,$\left (60 - x\right)$ - 6 = 5$\left(x- 6\right)$

$\Rightarrow$ 54 - $ x $ = 5$ x $ - 30

$\Rightarrow$ 6$ x $ = 84

$\Rightarrow x $ = 14.

$\therefore$ Sons age after 6 years = $\left(x+ 6\right)$ = 20 years..

2916.A persons present age is two-fifth of the age of his mother. After 8 years, he will be one-half of the age of his mother. How old is the mother at present?
32 years
36 years
40 years
48 years
Explanation:

Let the mothers present age be $ x $ years.

Then, the persons present age =$ \left(\dfrac{2}{5} x\right) $years.
$\therefore \left(\dfrac{2}{5} x + 8\right) $=$ \dfrac{1}{2}\left(x + 8\right)$

$\Rightarrow$ 2$\left(2x + 40\right)$ = 5$\left(x+ 8\right)$

$\Rightarrow x $ = 40.

2917.The present age of a father is 3 years more than three times the age of his son. Three years hence, fathers age will be 10 years more than twice the age of the son. What is fathers present age?
30 years
31 years
32 yeas
33 years
Explanation:

Let the present age the son = $x$

Then present age of the father = 3$x$ + 3

Given that ,three years hence, fathers age will be 10 years more than twice the age of the son

=> $\left(3x + 3 + 3\right)$ = 2$\left(x + 3\right)$ +10

=> $x$ = 10

Fathers present age = 3$x$ + 3 = 3×10 + 3 = 33

2918.Ayishas age is $\dfrac{1}{6}$th of her fathers age. Ayishas fathers age will be twice the age of Shankars age after 10 years. If Shankars eight birthdays was celebrated two years before, then what is Ayisha s present age.
10 years
12 years
8 years
5 years
Explanation:

Consider Ayishas present age = $x$

Then her fathers age = 6$x$

Given that Ayisha s fathers age will be twice the age of Shankars age after 10 years

=> Shankars age after 10 years =$\dfrac{1}{2}(6x + 10) = 3x + 5$

Also given that Shankars eight birthdays was celebrated two years before.

=> Shankars age after 10 years = 8 + 12 = 20

=> $3x+5=20$

=> $x=\dfrac{15}{3}=5$

2919.Q is as much younger than R as he is older than T. If the sum of the ages of R and T is 50 years, what is definitely the difference between R and Qs age?
1 year
2 years
25 years
Data inadequate
Explanation:
Given that:

1. The difference of age b/w R and Q = The difference of age b/w Q and T.

2. Sum of age of R and T is 50 i.e. (R + T) = 50.

Question: R - Q = ?.

Explanation:

R - Q = Q - T

(R + T) = 2Q

Now given that, (R + T) = 50

So, 50 = 2Q and therefore Q = 25.

Question is (R - Q) = ?

Here we know the value[age] of Q (25), but we dont know the age of R.

Therefore, (R-Q) cannot be determined.
