Question 1

Vijay is twice as old as Deepa was 7 years ago. The difference between their ages is 3 years. How old is Vijay?
Let Deepa's current age = x
Then 7 years ago, Deepa was (x - 7)
Vijay = 2(x - 7) = 2x - 14
Difference: Vijay - x = (2x - 14) - x = x - 14
Given difference = 3
So x - 14 = 3 → x = 17 = 17
Then Vijay = 2(17 - 7) = 20

Question 2

Kavita is twice as old as Kishore was 3 years ago. The difference between their ages is 4 years. How old is Kavita?
Let Kishore's current age = x
Then 3 years ago, Kishore was (x - 3)
Kavita = 2(x - 3) = 2x - 6
Difference: Kavita - x = (2x - 6) - x = x - 6
Given difference = 4
So x - 6 = 4 → x = 10 = 10
Then Kavita = 2(10 - 3) = 14

Question 3

Alex is twice as old as Krishna was 8 years ago. The difference between their ages is 5 years. How old is Alex?
Let Krishna's current age = x
Then 8 years ago, Krishna was (x - 8)
Alex = 2(x - 8) = 2x - 16
Difference: Alex - x = (2x - 16) - x = x - 16
Given difference = 5
So x - 16 = 5 → x = 21 = 21
Then Alex = 2(21 - 8) = 26

Question 4

Pallavi is twice as old as Cooper was 3 years ago. The difference between their ages is 16 years. How old is Pallavi?
Let Cooper's current age = x

Pallavi = 2(x - 3) = 2x - 6
Difference: Pallavi - x = (2x - 6) - x = x - 6
Given difference = 16
So x - 6 = 16 → x = 22 = 22
Then Pallavi = 2(22 - 3) = 38

Question 5

Anjali is twice as old as Claire was 6 years ago. The difference between their ages is 13 years. How old is Anjali?

Anjali = 2(x - 6) = 2x - 12
Difference: Anjali - x = (2x - 12) - x = x - 12
Given difference = 13
So x - 12 = 13 → x = 25 = 25
Then Anjali = 2(25 - 6) = 38

Question 6
