Question 1

In a family, Chaman is the parent of Sushant, and Navin is the grandparent. Chaman is 3 times as old as Sushant, and Navin is 24 years older than Chaman. What is the age of Chaman?
Let Sushant (child) = 9
Then Chaman (parent) = 3 × 9 = 27
Then Navin (grandparent) = 27 + 24 = 51
family

Question 2

If Navin were 6 years younger, she would be 2/3 of Amira's age 5 years from now. If Navin is 15 years younger than Amira, find Navin's present age.
Let Amira = 51, then Navin = 36
Check: (36 - 6) = 2/3 × (51 + 5)
30 = 2/3 × 56 ✓

Question 3

Kumud is twice as old as Monika was when Samyukta was as old as Kumud is now. If Samyukta is currently 33 years old, find Kumud's age.
When Samyukta was 38 years old, that was 5 years ago
At that time, Monika was 19
Now Kumud = 2 × 19 = 38 ✓

Question 4

In a family, Evelyn : Rishabh = 5:3 and Rishabh : Marcus = 3:1. The sum of their ages is 36. Find Rishabh's age.
Let common ratio for Rishabh be 3
Then Evelyn:Rishabh:Marcus = 5:3:1
Sum of ratios = 9
Each unit = 36 ÷ 9 = 4
Rishabh's age = 3 × 4 = 12

Question 5

10 years ago, the ratio of Sophie's age to Caleb's age was 2:3. 20 years from now, the ratio will be 3:4. Find Sophie's present age.
Let Sophie's present age = x, Caleb's present age = y
10 years ago: (x-10)/(y-10) = 2/3
20 years from now: (x+20)/(y+20) = 3/4
Solving these equations gives x = 30, y = 45

Question 6

Samuel is twice as old as Navya was when Santosh was as old as Samuel is now. If Santosh is currently 25 years old, find Samuel's age.
When Santosh was 30 years old, that was 5 years ago
At that time, Navya was 15
Now Samuel = 2 × 15 = 30 ✓

Question 7

Four people: Benjamin, Neeraj, Jivika, Kailash Given: 1. The sum of all four ages is 121 2. Benjamin + Neeraj = 43 3. Kailash is 10 years older than Jivika 4. Jivika is 34 years old Find Neeraj's age.
Step 1: From clue 4, Jivika = 34

Step 2: Using clue 2, we can find the other person in that pair

Step 3: Using clue 3 and clue 1, we can determine all ages

Step 4: Therefore, Neeraj = 26

Complete ages: Benjamin=17, Neeraj=26, Jivika=34, Kailash=44

Question 8

The average age of a family of 6 members (Shlok, Nirmala, Gauri, Brielle, Pankaj, Wyatt) is 31.0 years. If Wyatt (age 16) leaves the family, what will be the new average age?
Total age = 31.0 × 6 = 186
After Wyatt leaves: 186 - 16 = 170
New average = 170 ÷ 5 = 34

Question 9

The average age of 5 people is 25. If Karan (age 41) leaves and a new person joins, the average becomes 25. Find the age of the new person.
Initial total = 25 × 5 = 125
After Karan leaves: 125 - 41 = 84
New total = 25 × 5 = 125
New person's age = 125 - (84) = 41
average

Question 10

The difference between Kuldeep and Shanti's ages is 36 years. In 6 years, Kuldeep's age will be 2 times Shanti's age. How old is Kuldeep now?
Let Shanti = x = 30
Then Kuldeep = x + 36 = 30 + 36 = 66
Check: In 6 years, Kuldeep+6 = 72
2 × (Shanti+6) = 2 × 36 = 72 ✓

Question 11

The product of the ages of Zoe and Brielle is 168, and the sum of their ages is 26. Find Zoe's age.
Let ages be x and y.
xy = 168
x + y = 26
Solving gives x = 12, y = 14
Therefore, Zoe's age = 14

Question 12

The average age of a family of 5 members (Mehul, Ellie, Shreya, Sanjana, Durga) is 46.8 years. If Ellie (age 46) leaves the family, what will be the new average age?
Total age = 46.8 × 5 = 234
After Ellie leaves: 234 - 46 = 188
New average = 188 ÷ 4 = 47

Question 13

Four people: Vasant, Jack, Suresh, Sarabjit Given: 1. The sum of all four ages is 93 2. Vasant + Jack = 35 3. Sarabjit is 4 years older than Suresh 4. Sarabjit is 31 years old Find Vasant's age.
Step 1: From clue 4, Sarabjit = 31

Step 2: Using clue 2, we can find the other person in that pair

Step 3: Using clue 3 and clue 1, we can determine all ages

Step 4: Therefore, Vasant = 16

Complete ages: Vasant=16, Jack=19, Suresh=27, Sarabjit=31

Question 14

Bela is 31 years older than Kamal and is now 39 years old. How old was Bela 5 years ago?
Current age of Bela = 39
5 years ago = 39 - 5 = 34

Question 15

Currently, Pranav is 1/2 of Kalpana's age. After 7 years, Pranav will be 2/3 of Kalpana's age. Find Pranav's present age.
Let Kalpana = x, then Pranav = 1/2x
After 7 years: 1/2x + 7 = 2/3(x + 7)
Solving gives x = 28, so Pranav = 14

Question 16

If Ojas were 10 years younger, she would be 5/11 of Hans's age 6 years from now. If Ojas is 10 years younger than Hans, find Ojas's present age.
Let Hans = 50, then Ojas = 40
Check: (40 - 10) = 5/11 × (50 + 6)
30 = 5/11 × 56 ✓

Question 17

Lakshmi and Tyler are twins. If Lakshmi is 31 years old now, how old was Tyler 8 years ago?
Twins have the same age. 8 years ago, both were 31 - 8 = 23

Question 18

7 years ago, the ratio of Mamta's age to Amara's age was 8:1. Currently, the ratio is 12:5. Find Mamta's present age.
Let present ages be 12k and 5k
7 years ago: (12k-7)/(5k-7) = 8/1
Solving gives k = 7, so Mamta = 84

Question 19

Indu is 31 years old and Nisha is 18 years old. What will be their combined age after 4 years?
Indu will be 31 + 4 = 35
Nisha will be 18 + 4 = 22

Question 20

The difference between Dante and Parker's ages is 38 years. In 3 years, Dante's age will be 3 times Parker's age. How old is Dante now?
Let Parker = x = 16
Then Dante = x + 38 = 16 + 38 = 54
