1. A man is 30 years old at present. What will be his age after 5 years ?
The man’s current age = 30 years
After 5 years, his age will be: 30 + 5 = 35 years
2. A brother is 25 years old and his sister is 12 years younger. What is the sister's age ?
Brother’s age = 25 years
Sister is 12 years younger → 25 − 12 = 13 years
3. A brother is 25 years old and his sister is 12 years younger. What is the sister's age ?
Brother’s age = 25 years
Sister is 12 years younger → 25 − 12 = 13 years
4. A brother is 25 years old and his sister is 12 years younger. What is the sister's age ?
Brother’s age = 25 years
Sister is 12 years younger → 25 − 12 = 13 years
5. The father's age is five times the son's age. If father's age is 90 years, what is the son's age ?
Father’s age = 5 × Son’s age
⇒ 90 = 5 × Son’s age
⇒ Son’s age = 90 ÷ 5 = 18 years
6. Ram is 5 years older than Shyam. If Ram is 20 years old, what is Shyam's age ?
Ram is 5 years older than Shyam.
So, Shyam’s age = Ram’s age − 5 = 20 − 5 = 15 years
7. The sum of mother's and son's ages is 70. If mother is 40 years older than son, what is son's age ?
Let son’s age = x
Mother’s age = x + 40
According to question:
x + (x + 40) = 70
Simplify:
2x + 40 = 70
Subtract 40 from both sides:
2x = 30
Divide by 2:
x = 15
Son’s age = 15 years
8. A brother is 12 years old and his sister is 4 years younger. What is the sister's age ?
Brother’s age = 12 years
Sister is 4 years younger → 12 − 4 = 8 years
9. The sum of mother's and son's ages is 50. If mother is 30 years older than son, what is son's age ?
Let the son’s age = x
Then, mother’s age = x + 30
According to the question:
x + (x + 30) = 50
⇒ 2x + 30 = 50
⇒ 2x = 20
⇒ x = 10 years
10. A man is 60 years old at present. What will be his age after 12 years ?
Present age of the man = 60 years
After 12 years, his age will be:
60 + 12 = 72 years
11. The father's age is three times the son's age. If father's age is 45 years, what is the son's age ?
Father’s age = 3 × Son’s age
⇒ 45 = 3 × Son’s age
⇒ Son’s age = 45 ÷ 3 = 15 years
12. Ram is 10 years older than Shyam. If Ram is 40 years old, what is Shyam's age ?
Ram’s age = 40 years
Ram is 10 years older than Shyam.
So, Shyam’s age = 40 − 10 = 30 years
