A man is 3 years older than his wife and four times as old as his son. If the son becomes 15 years old after 3 years. Then what is the present age of the wife?

  • 60 years

  • 51 years

  • 48 years

  • 45 years

Solution

D.

45 years

Let the age of son  = x
         Age of man = 4x
         Age of wife  = 4x - 3 
Now,
                 x + 3  = 15
                      x = 12 years
therefore Age of wife = 4 x 12 - 3 = 48 - 3 = 45 years

Ann, Bill and Ken shared some stamps in the ratio 2 : 3 : 4. After a game the ratio became 5 : 2 : 2. If Ann won 21 stamps how many did Ken lose?

  • 21

  • 7

  • 28

  • 14

Solution

D.

14

Number of ticket of Ann = 2x, 
                             Bill = 3x
                             Ken = 4x
Ratio of ticket after a game Ann = 5x,  Bill = 2x,  Ken = 2x
Ticket won by Ann = 5x - 2x = 3x
Ticket lose by Bill = 2x - 3x = -1x
Ticket lose by Ken = 2x - 4x = -2x
Number of tickets won by Ann = 21 which is 7 times the ratio i.e. 3 x 7 = 21
Similarly, Number of tickets lose by Ken  = - 2 x 7 = 14 Ticket.

The age of Rakhi is twelve times that of her daughter Anubha. If age of Anubha is 3 years now, then what was the age of Rakhi, 2 years earlier?

  • 20 years

  • 34 years

  • 30 years

  • 36 years

Solution

B.

34 years
