Quantitative Aptitude: Problems on Ages Set 13

1. Rashi is as much younger than Shivani as he is older than Simran. If the sum of the ages of Shivani and Simran is 60 years, what is the difference between Shivani and Rashi’s age?
   10 years
   12 years
   15 years
   14 years
   Cannot be determined
   Option E
   Shivani’s age – Rashis age = Rashi’s age – Simran’s age
   Simran’s age + Shivani’s age = 2 Rashi’s age
   Shivani’s age + Simran’s age = 60
   Rashi’s age = 30;
   Therefore,We can not find the difference between Shivani and Rashi’s age
   
    



2. Abhishek got married 6 years ago. His present age is 5/4 times his age at the time of his marriage. Abhishek’s brother was 5 years younger to him at the time of his marriage. What is the present age of Abhishek’s brother?
   15 years
   25 years
   20 years
   Cannot be determined
   None of these
   Option B
   Present age of Abhishek = p ;
   Present age of Abhishek’s sister = q ;
   p = (p-6)(5/4)
   p = 30
   Present age of Abhishek’s brother = 30 – 5 = 25 years
   
    



3. Simran age is 125% of what it was ten years ago, but 250/3% of what it will be after ten years. What is the present age of Simran?
   45 years
   40 years
   50 years
   55 years
   None of these
   Option C
   Simran’s age before 10 years = p
   125p/100 = p+ 10
   125p = 100p + 1000 = p = 40
   Present age = p + 10 = 50 years
   
   
    



4. Mr. Shivam has three daughters namely Rinki, Akansha and Kavya. Rinki is the eldest daughter of Mr. Shivam while Kavya is the youngest one. The present ages of all three of them are square numbers. The sum of their ages after 5 years is 44. What is the age of Rinki after two years?
   9 years
   12 years
   18 years
   10 years
   None of these
   Option C
   Square numbers =p,q,r

   p + q + q = 44 – 15 = 29 years
   Possible values of p,q,r= 4, 9, 16 [Out of 1, 4, 9, 16, 25]
   Rinki’s present age = 16;
   after two years = 18 years

   10
   7
   12
   15
   9

   Let the number of males = p
   Total family members = 10 + p
   25(10 + p) = 30p + 10*20
   =250 + 25q = 30p + 200
   = 5q = 50
   p = 10

9. Jaya’ present age is 2/7th of his father’s present age. Jaya’ brother is three year older to Jaya. The respective ratio between present ages of Jaya’ father and Jaya’ brother is 14:5. What is the present age of Jaya?
   10 years
   12 years
   15 years
   20 years
   None of these
   Option B
   Jaya’ father present age = x
   Jaya’ age = 2/7 x
   Jaya’ brother age = 2/7 x + 3
   x/(2/7x + 3) = 14/5
   x = 42
   Jaya’ age = 2/7 x = 2/7 * 42 = 12 years
   
    



10. At present, the respective ratio between the ages of Akansha and Banya is 3:4 and that between Akansha and Caryl is 1:2. Six years hence, the sum of Akansha, Banya and Caryl will be 96 years. what is the present age of Akansha?
