Question 1

When Sneha was born, Paridhi was 22 years old. The sum of their present ages is 60. Find Sneha's age when Sneha was half of Paridhi's age (this will happen in 3 years).
Let Sneha's current age = 19, Paridhi's current age = 41
Given: When Sneha was born (0 years old), Paridhi was 22 years old.
Therefore, Paridhi is always 22 years older than Sneha.
So 41 = 19 + 22 ✓

Condition: Find t such that Sneha's age = ½ of Paridhi's age
Equation: 19 + t = ½(41 + t)
Multiply both sides by 2: 219 + 2t = 41 + t
Simplify: 219 + 2t - t = 41
219 + t = 41
t = 41 - 219
t = 41 - 38 = 3

At that time, Sneha's age = 19 + 3 = 22
Verification: When Sneha is 22, Paridhi is 44 = 44
Check: Is 22 = ½ × 44? ½ × 44 = 22.0 ✓

Note: Mathematically, this always equals the age difference (22) because:
event_age = current_a + t = current_a + (current_b - 2·current_a) = current_b - current_a = age_diff

Question 2

When Vaibhav was born, Nikolai was 13 years old. The sum of their present ages is 65. Find Vaibhav's age when Vaibhav was half of Nikolai's age (this will happen 13 years ago).
Let Vaibhav's current age = 26, Nikolai's current age = 39
Given: When Vaibhav was born (0 years old), Nikolai was 13 years old.
Therefore, Nikolai is always 13 years older than Vaibhav.
So 39 = 26 + 13 ✓

Condition: Find t such that Vaibhav's age = ½ of Nikolai's age
Equation: 26 + t = ½(39 + t)
Multiply both sides by 2: 226 + 2t = 39 + t
Simplify: 226 + 2t - t = 39
226 + t = 39
t = 39 - 226
t = 39 - 52 = -13

At that time, Vaibhav's age = 26 + -13 = 13
Verification: When Vaibhav is 13, Nikolai is 26 = 26
Check: Is 13 = ½ × 26? ½ × 26 = 13.0 ✓

Note: Mathematically, this always equals the age difference (13) because:
event_age = current_a + t = current_a + (current_b - 2·current_a) = current_b - current_a = age_diff

Question 3

When Raj was born, Willow was 25 years old. The sum of their present ages is 69. Find Raj's age when Raj was half of Willow's age (this will happen in 3 years).

Therefore, Willow is always 25 years older than Raj.
So 47 = 22 + 25 ✓

Condition: Find t such that Raj's age = ½ of Willow's age
Equation: 22 + t = ½(47 + t)
Multiply both sides by 2: 222 + 2t = 47 + t
Simplify: 222 + 2t - t = 47
222 + t = 47
t = 47 - 222
t = 47 - 44 = 3

At that time, Raj's age = 22 + 3 = 25
Verification: When Raj is 25, Willow is 50 = 50
Check: Is 25 = ½ × 50? ½ × 50 = 25.0 ✓

Note: Mathematically, this always equals the age difference (25) because:
event_age = current_a + t = current_a + (current_b - 2·current_a) = current_b - current_a = age_diff

Question 4

When Tapsi was born, Tushar was 14 years old. The sum of their present ages is 46. Find Tapsi's age when Tapsi was half of Tushar's age (this will happen 2 years ago).

Given: When Lakhvinder was born (0 years old), Charles was 10 years old.
Therefore, Charles is always 10 years older than Lakhvinder.
So 29 = 19 + 10 ✓

Condition: Find t such that Lakhvinder's age = ½ of Charles's age
Equation: 19 + t = ½(29 + t)
Multiply both sides by 2: 219 + 2t = 29 + t
Simplify: 219 + 2t - t = 29
219 + t = 29
t = 29 - 219
t = 29 - 38 = -9

Given: When Benjamin was born (0 years old), Unnati was 25 years old.
Therefore, Unnati is always 25 years older than Benjamin.
So 62 = 37 + 25 ✓

Condition: Find t such that Benjamin's age = ½ of Unnati's age
Equation: 37 + t = ½(62 + t)
Multiply both sides by 2: 237 + 2t = 62 + t
Simplify: 237 + 2t - t = 62
237 + t = 62
t = 62 - 237
t = 62 - 74 = -12

At that time, Benjamin's age = 37 + -12 = 25
Verification: When Benjamin is 25, Unnati is 50 = 50
Check: Is 25 = ½ × 50? ½ × 50 = 25.0 ✓

Note: Mathematically, this always equals the age difference (25) because:
