Let Gaurav's and Sachin's ages one year ago be 6x and 9x × 5x = 1125 ⇒ 45x2 = 1125 ⇒ x2 = 25 ⇒ x = 5.
7x years respectively. Required ratio= (9x + 5) : (5x + 5) ⇒ 50 : 30 ⇒ 5 : 3.
Then, Gaurav's age 4 years hence = (6x + 1) + 4 = (6x + 39. B

Then, =
(6x+5) : (7x + 5) = 7:8 3x – 6 3
=> 8(6x+5) = 7 (7x + 5) ⇒ 6x – 18 = 3x – 6 ⇒ 3x = 12 ⇒ x = 4.
=> 48x + 40 = 49x + 35 So, required ratio = (2x + 4) : (3x + 4) ⇒ 12 : 16 ⇒ 3

Hence, Sachin's present age = (7x + 1) = 36 years 40. B

Father's age after 6 years = (5x + 10) + 6 = (5x + 16) => x = 20.

Then, 41. C
(x + 16) : (5x + 16) = 3:7 Sum of the present ages of P and Q = 60 years
=> 7(x + 16) = 3 (5x + 16) So, Sum of their ages after 5 years = 60 + (5 * 2) = 70
=> 7x + 112 = 15x + 48 years
=> 8x = 64 After 5 years, ratio of Ages of P and Q will be 3:4
=> x = 8. Therefore,
Hence, Abhay's father's present age = (5x + 10) = 50 P's age after 5 years = (3/7) * 70 = 30 years.

Omkar's present age = (8x + 5) Let the ages of Ankit, Narendra and Satendra 5 years ago
Nitin's present age = (7x + 5) be 2x, 3x and 4x years respectively.
Now, as per the equation So, total of their present ages will be,
(8x + 5) + 3 12 (8x + 8) 12 (2x + 5) + (3x +5) + (4x + 5) = 96
Then, = ⇒ =
(7x + 5) + 3 11 (7x + 8) 11 9x + 15 = 96
On cross multiplication, we get 9x = 81
⇒ 88x + 88 = 84x + 96 x = 9.
⇒ 4x = 8 ⇒ x = 2. So, the present age of Satendra = 4x + 5 = 4 × 9 + 5 = 41
∴Nitin's present age = (7x + 5) = (7 × 2 + 5) = 19 years. years.

Let the present age of Navya = 5x, Reet = 6x Let age of Rajan be x and that of his son be y
After 8 years, So as per the question:
5x + 8 : 6x + 8 = 7 : 8 (x – 2) : (y – 2) = 4 : 1 or 4 (y – 2)= x – 2 (this is the first
(5x + 8) 8 : (6x + 8) 7 equation)
40x + 64 = 42x + 56 (x + 5) : (y + 5) = 5/2 or 5(y + 5)= 2(x + 5) (this is the
64 – 56 = 42x – 40x second equation)
8 = 2x Solving both of them we get x = 30 and y = 9
x=4 So present age of the son is 9 years
Present age of Navya = 20, Reet = 24 47. B
After 10 years the total of their ages = 20 + 10 + 24 + 10 Let son's age 8 years ago be x years.
= 64 Then, Rohit's age 8 years ago = 4x years.
44. B Son's age after 8 years = (x + 8) + 8 = (x + 16) years.
Sum of present ages of A, B and C is = 72 years Rohit's age after 8 years = (4x + 8) + 8 = (4x+ 16) years.
Therefore, Sum of their ages 4 years ago = 72 – (4 * 3)= ATQ,
60 years. 2(x + 16) = 4x + 16
4 years ago ratio of the ages of A , B and C was = 1:2:3 => 2x = 16 => x = 8.
Therefore, A's age four years ago = (1/6) * 60 = 10 years. Hence, son's 'present age = (x + 8) = 16 years.
So, A's present age =10 + 4 = 14 years. Rohit's present age = (4x + 8) = 40 years

Then, 50. A
(60 - x) - 6 = 5(x - 6) D+3=3(E+3)

Let Aman's present age be x D=3F-12.
Aman's age before 10 years = x - 10) now, we have D=2F-3.
Aman's age after 20 years = (x + 20) 2F-3=3F-12
We are given that, Aman's age after 20 years (x + 20) is 9=F
