Question 1

When Karthik was born, Satish was 16 years old. The sum of their present ages is 26. Find Karthik's age when Karthik was half of Satish's age (this will happen in 11 years).
Let Karthik's current age = 5, Satish's current age = 21
Given: When Karthik was born (0 years old), Satish was 16 years old.
Therefore, Satish is always 16 years older than Karthik.
So 21 = 5 + 16 ✓

Condition: Find t such that Karthik's age = ½ of Satish's age
Equation: 5 + t = ½(21 + t)
Multiply both sides by 2: 25 + 2t = 21 + t
Simplify: 25 + 2t - t = 21
25 + t = 21
t = 21 - 25
t = 21 - 10 = 11

At that time, Karthik's age = 5 + 11 = 16
Verification: When Karthik is 16, Satish is 32 = 32
Check: Is 16 = ½ × 32? ½ × 32 = 16.0 ✓

Note: Mathematically, this always equals the age difference (16) because:
event_age = current_a + t = current_a + (current_b - 2·current_a) = current_b - current_a = age_diff

Question 2

When Ankur was born, Alexander was 3 years old. The sum of their present ages is 29. Find Ankur's age when Ankur was half of Alexander's age (this will happen 10 years ago).
Let Ankur's current age = 13, Alexander's current age = 16
Given: When Ankur was born (0 years old), Alexander was 3 years old.
Therefore, Alexander is always 3 years older than Ankur.
So 16 = 13 + 3 ✓

Condition: Find t such that Ankur's age = ½ of Alexander's age
Equation: 13 + t = ½(16 + t)
Multiply both sides by 2: 213 + 2t = 16 + t
Simplify: 213 + 2t - t = 16
213 + t = 16
t = 16 - 213
t = 16 - 26 = -10

At that time, Ankur's age = 13 + -10 = 3
Verification: When Ankur is 3, Alexander is 6 = 6
Check: Is 3 = ½ × 6? ½ × 6 = 3.0 ✓

Note: Mathematically, this always equals the age difference (3) because:
event_age = current_a + t = current_a + (current_b - 2·current_a) = current_b - current_a = age_diff

Question 3

When Ella was born, Yogesh was 15 years old. The sum of their present ages is 71. Find Ella's age when Ella was half of Yogesh's age (this will happen 13 years ago).
Let Ella's current age = 28, Yogesh's current age = 43
Given: When Ella was born (0 years old), Yogesh was 15 years old.
Therefore, Yogesh is always 15 years older than Ella.
So 43 = 28 + 15 ✓

Condition: Find t such that Ella's age = ½ of Yogesh's age
Equation: 28 + t = ½(43 + t)
Multiply both sides by 2: 228 + 2t = 43 + t
Simplify: 228 + 2t - t = 43
228 + t = 43
t = 43 - 228
t = 43 - 56 = -13

At that time, Ella's age = 28 + -13 = 15
Verification: When Ella is 15, Yogesh is 30 = 30
Check: Is 15 = ½ × 30? ½ × 30 = 15.0 ✓

Note: Mathematically, this always equals the age difference (15) because:
event_age = current_a + t = current_a + (current_b - 2·current_a) = current_b - current_a = age_diff

Question 4

When Manoj was born, David was 12 years old. The sum of their present ages is 56. Find Manoj's age when Manoj was half of David's age (this will happen 10 years ago).
Let Manoj's current age = 22, David's current age = 34
Given: When Manoj was born (0 years old), David was 12 years old.
Therefore, David is always 12 years older than Manoj.
So 34 = 22 + 12 ✓

Condition: Find t such that Manoj's age = ½ of David's age
Equation: 22 + t = ½(34 + t)
Multiply both sides by 2: 222 + 2t = 34 + t
Simplify: 222 + 2t - t = 34
222 + t = 34
t = 34 - 222
t = 34 - 44 = -10

At that time, Manoj's age = 22 + -10 = 12
Verification: When Manoj is 12, David is 24 = 24
Check: Is 12 = ½ × 24? ½ × 24 = 12.0 ✓

Note: Mathematically, this always equals the age difference (12) because:
event_age = current_a + t = current_a + (current_b - 2·current_a) = current_b - current_a = age_diff

Question 5

When Riya was born, Bharat was 7 years old. The sum of their present ages is 17. Find Riya's age when Riya was half of Bharat's age (this will happen in 2 years).
Let Riya's current age = 5, Bharat's current age = 12
Given: When Riya was born (0 years old), Bharat was 7 years old.
Therefore, Bharat is always 7 years older than Riya.
So 12 = 5 + 7 ✓

Condition: Find t such that Riya's age = ½ of Bharat's age
Equation: 5 + t = ½(12 + t)
Multiply both sides by 2: 25 + 2t = 12 + t
Simplify: 25 + 2t - t = 12
25 + t = 12
t = 12 - 25
t = 12 - 10 = 2

At that time, Riya's age = 5 + 2 = 7
Verification: When Riya is 7, Bharat is 14 = 14
Check: Is 7 = ½ × 14? ½ × 14 = 7.0 ✓

Note: Mathematically, this always equals the age difference (7) because:
event_age = current_a + t = current_a + (current_b - 2·current_a) = current_b - current_a = age_diff

Therefore, Vinay is always 10 years older than Ellie.
So 22 = 12 + 10 ✓

Condition: Find t such that Ellie's age = ½ of Vinay's age
Equation: 12 + t = ½(22 + t)
Multiply both sides by 2: 212 + 2t = 22 + t
Simplify: 212 + 2t - t = 22
212 + t = 22
t = 22 - 212
t = 22 - 24 = -2

At that time, Ellie's age = 12 + -2 = 10
Verification: When Ellie is 10, Vinay is 20 = 20
Check: Is 10 = ½ × 20? ½ × 20 = 10.0 ✓

Note: Mathematically, this always equals the age difference (10) because:
event_age = current_a + t = current_a + (current_b - 2·current_a) = current_b - current_a = age_diff

Question 7

When Dominic was born, Sonal was 19 years old. The sum of their present ages is 37. Find Dominic's age when Dominic was half of Sonal's age (this will happen in 10 years).
Let Dominic's current age = 9, Sonal's current age = 28
Given: When Dominic was born (0 years old), Sonal was 19 years old.
Therefore, Sonal is always 19 years older than Dominic.
So 28 = 9 + 19 ✓

Condition: Find t such that Dominic's age = ½ of Sonal's age
Equation: 9 + t = ½(28 + t)
