Worksheet 2 of 30 (6% complete)

Question 1

One person's age is 2 times another. If sum of ages is 24, what are their ages?
Let x: base, 2x: second. x + 2x = 24 → x = 8, 2x = 16

Question 2

Ages of 6 family members: [39, 17, 33, 38, 36, 20]. If one is picked at random, what is the probability that member is under 18? Give answer as a fraction.
Number under 18: 1, total: 6, prob = 1/6

Question 3

In 6 years, Aurora will be twice as old as Giridhar was 3 years ago. If Giridhar is 10 now, how old is Aurora now?
In 6 years: Aurora=Aurora(now)+6, Giridhar was 10-3=7 three years ago. Aurora(now)+6=2*7 => Aurora(now) = 2*7 - 6 = 8.

Question 4

Present ages of Pratibha, Falguni, Mary are in ratio 3:4:5. Sum of ages is 96. Find Pratibha's age.
Let ages be 3x, 4x, 5x. Sum = 12x = 96, so x = 8. Pratibha = 3×8 = 24

Question 5

Uday is now 20. How old was Uday 3 years ago?
Past: 20 - 3 = 17

Question 6

Given: Preeti > Malachi, Malachi > Elias, and Preeti + Elias < 66. If all ages are integers, what is the minimum possible age of Preeti?
With given constraints, minimum Preeti = 29 (since Preeti > Malachi > Elias and all integers)

Question 7

A is 10 years younger than B. The sum of their ages after 3 years will be 46. Find A's present age.
Let A=15, B=25. After 3 years: A=18, B=28, sum=46. Therefore A = 15

Question 8

A is 4 times as old as B. If B is 17, what is A's age?
A = 4 × 17 = 68

Question 9

Present ages of Dylan, Uma, Shailesh are in ratio 3:4:5. Sum of ages is 120. Find Dylan's age.
Let ages be 3x, 4x, 5x. Sum = 12x = 120, so x = 10. Dylan = 3×10 = 30

Question 10

Given: Vaishali > Gunjan, Gunjan > Damini, and Vaishali + Damini < 63. If all ages are integers, what is the minimum possible age of Vaishali?
With given constraints, minimum Vaishali = 25 (since Vaishali > Gunjan > Damini and all integers)

Question 11

A is 9 years younger than B. The sum of their ages after 3 years will be 41. Find A's present age.
Let A=13, B=22. After 3 years: A=16, B=25, sum=41. Therefore A = 13

Question 12

In 8 years, Rishi will be 3 times as old as Nikolai will be then. Nikolai's present age is 6. What is Rishi's present age?
Rishi+8=3*(6+8) -> Rishi=3*(6+8)-8=34

Question 13

A is 9 years older than B. A's age equals the cost price (₹192) and B's age equals the selling price when profit is 45%. Find A's age.
Given: A = cost price = 192, B = selling price = 278. Age difference matches: 192 - 278 = -86

Question 14

A is 4 years older than B. If B is 14 and A is 12, is the data correct?
If B is 14, A should be 18. But A is 12. Data is inconsistent.

Question 15

Sahil is 19, Indu is 22. After 2 years, what is the ratio of their ages?
Sahil: Indu = 21:24, after 2 years.

Question 16

One person's age is 3 times another. If sum of ages is 40, what are their ages?
Let x: base, 3x: second. x + 3x = 40 → x = 10, 3x = 30

Question 17

One person's age is 2 times another. If sum of ages is 39, what are their ages?
Let x: base, 2x: second. x + 2x = 39 → x = 13, 2x = 26

Question 18

The average age of a group is 16. The sum of their ages is 48. How many people are there in the group?
Count = sum / average = 48 / 16 = 3

Question 19

Ages of 7 family members: [39, 20, 26, 21, 21, 17, 30]. If one is picked at random, what is the probability that member is under 18? Give answer as a fraction.
Number under 18: 1, total: 7, prob = 1/7

Question 20

One person's age is 2 times another. If sum of ages is 54, what are their ages?
Let x: base, 2x: second. x + 2x = 54 → x = 18, 2x = 36
