Worksheet 3 of 30 (10% complete)

Question 1

Deepa is 40% older than Hari. If Hari is 29 years, how old is Deepa?

Deepa = 29 + (40% of 29) = 29 + 11 = 40

percentage

Question 2

A is older than B. C is younger than B. A + B + C = 74. A is at least 5 years older than B. Maximum possible age of C?

For max C, minimize A and B. A ≥ B+5, B > C. With sum 74, max C = 19

optimization, inequality

Question 3

People: Robert, Om, Eliana Clues: Robert is older than Om. Eliana is the youngest. The sum of their ages is 87.

Deduce from clues and order.

Question 4

In 2015, X was 25 and Y was 28. In 2025, X will be 35 and Y will be 38. How did the age difference change over 10 years?

Difference in 2015: 3, in 2025: 3. Age difference remains constant.

Question 5

A is 4 years older than B. If B is 6 and A is 4, is the data correct?

If B is 6, A should be 10. But A is 4. Data is inconsistent.

contradiction

Question 6

Family: Dev, Ashish, Nevaeh, Nolan. Average age is 23. What is the sum of ages?

Total = 23*4 = 92

average

Question 7

Given: Indu > Shakti, Shakti > Karan, and Indu + Karan < 63. If all ages are integers, what is the minimum possible age of Indu?

With given constraints, minimum Indu = 26 (since Indu > Shakti > Karan and all integers)

inequality, ranges

Question 8

Sum of A and B's ages is 67. After 7 years, A will be 3 times as old as B. What is the maximum possible age of A now?

A + B = 67, (A+7) = 3*(B+7) → A = 53.8 → max A = 53

optimization, inequality

Question 9

Ratio of ages of Joshua to Pooja is 3:2, and the difference is 7. How old is Joshua?

Let Joshua = 3x, Pooja = 2x
Difference = 3x - 2x = 1x = 7
Therefore x = 7 ÷ 1 = 7
Joshua = 3 × 7 = 21

ratio

Question 10

Nilesh is now 13. How old was Nilesh 7 years ago?

Past: 13 - 7 = 6

tense

Question 11

Statement 1: A is 5 years older than B. Statement 2: B is 12 years old.

B's age is given, so A's age is just B+5.

Question 12

In 7 years, Naomi will be 2 times as old as Eleanor will be then. Eleanor's present age is 16. What is Naomi's present age?

Naomi+7=2*(16+7) -> Naomi=2*(16+7)-7=39

multiple

Question 13

In 6 years, Cooper will be 2 times as old as Layla will be then. Layla's present age is 12. What is Cooper's present age?

Cooper+6=2*(12+6) -> Cooper=2*(12+6)-6=30

multiple

Question 14

A is 13. What is (A+7) and (2A-4)? What is the value of (A+7)?

A+7=20; 2A-4=22

Question 15

The sum of ages of all family members is 63 and their average age is 21. How many members are there in the family?

number = total / average = 63 / 21 = 3

Question 16

Present ages of Arjun, Sebastian, Mukesh are in ratio 3:4:5. Sum of ages is 72. Find Arjun's age.

Let ages be 3x, 4x, 5x. Sum = 12x = 72, so x = 6. Arjun = 3×6 = 18

Question 17

Rupali is 20% younger than Kaveri. If Kaveri is 29 years, how old is Rupali?

Rupali = 29 - (20% of 29) = 29 - 5 = 24

percentage

Question 18

Ratio of ages of Vasant to Lucas is 2:4, and the difference is 20. How old is Lucas?

Let Vasant = 2x, Lucas = 4x
Difference = 4x - 2x = 2x = 20
Therefore x = 20 ÷ 2 = 10
Lucas = 4 × 10 = 40

ratio

Question 19

Given: Urvashi > Hugo, Hugo > Everly, and Urvashi + Everly < 74. If all ages are integers, what is the minimum possible age of Urvashi?

With given constraints, minimum Urvashi = 36 (since Urvashi > Hugo > Everly and all integers)

inequality, ranges

Question 20

In 4 years, Bentley will be twice as old as Lucas was 3 years ago. If Lucas is 13 now, how old is Bentley now?

In 4 years: Bentley=Bentley(now)+4, Lucas was 13-3=10 three years ago. Bentley(now)+4=2*10 => Bentley(now) = 2*10 - 4 = 16.
