Explanation to Maths’ answers ( 37-50)

37. Explanation :Let the present age of A and B be 3x and 4x respectively. Ten years ago, A was half of B
in age
=> (3x – 10) = ½ (4x – 10)
=> 6x – 20 = 4x – 10
=> 2x = 10
=> x = 5
total of their present ages = 3x + 4x = 7x = 7 × 5 = 35

38. Explanation : Assume that Raju’s present age = x.
Then father’s present age = 3x + x = 4x
After 8 years, fathers age = 2 ½ times of Raju’s age
=> (4x+8) = 2 ½ × (x+8)
=> 4x + 8 = (5/2) ×(x + 8)
=> 8x + 16 = 5x+ 40
=> 3x = 40-16 = 24
=> x = 24/3 = 8
After further 8 years,
Anil’s age = x + 8+ 8 = 8+8+8 = 24
Father’s age = 4x + 8 + 8 = 4 × 8 + 8 + 8 = 48
Father’s age/Raju’s age = 48/24 = 2

39. Explanation : Let the age before 10 years = x
Then 125x/100 = x + 10
=>125x = 100x + 1000
=> x = 1000/25 = 40
Present age = x + 10 = 40 +10 = 50

40. Explanation : Let the present age of the son = x years
Then present age the man = (x+24) years
Given that in 2 years, man’s age will be twice the
age of his son
=> (x+24) +2 = 2(x+2)
=> x = 22

41. Explanation : Ratio of the present age of Kiran and Syam = 5 : 4
=> Let the present age of Kiran = 5x
Present age of Syam = 4x
After 3 years, ratio of their ages = 11:9
=> (5x + 3) : (4x + 3) = 11 : 9
=> (5x+3) / (4x+3) = 11/9
=> 9(5x + 3) = 11(4x + 3)
=> 45x + 27 = 44x + 33
=> x = 33-27 =6
Syam’s present age = 4x = 4×6 = 24

42. Explanation : Let the age of the youngest child = x
Then the ages of 5 children can be written as x, (x+3), (x+6),(x+9) and (x+12)
X + (x+3) + (x+6) + (x+9) + (x+12) = 50
=> 5x + 30 =50
=> 5x = 20
=> x = 20/5 = 4

43. Explanation : Let the age of C = x. Then Age of B = 2x
Age of A = 2 + 2x
The total age of A,B and C =27
=> (2+2x) + 2x + x = 27
=> 5x = 25
=> 25/5 = 5
B’s age = 2x = 2×5 = 10

44. Explanation : Total age of all students = 22×21
Total age of all students + age of the teacher = 23 × 22
Age of the teacher = 23×22 – 22×21 = 22(23-21)
= 22×2 = 44

45 . Explanation : Let the son’s present age be x years.
Then, (38 – x) = x
=> 2x = 38
=> x = 38/2 = 19
Son’s age 5 years back = 19-5 = 14

46 . Explanation : Consider Suja’s present age = x
Then her father’s age = 6x
Given that Suja’s father’s age will be twice the age of Shankar’s age after 10 years
=> Shankar’s age after 10 years = ½ (6x + 10) = 3x + 5
Also given that Shankar’s eight birthdays was celebrated two years before =>
Shankar’s age after 10 years = 8 + 12 = 20 => 3x + 5 = 20 => x = 15/3 = 5 => Suja’s present age = 5 years

47. Explanation : Let the present age of the son = x, then
Present age of the father = 60-x
Six years ago father’s age was 5 times the age of the son
=> (60-x)-6 = 5(x-6)
=> 84 = 6x
=> x = 84/6 = 14
Son’s age after 6 years = x + 6 = 14 + 6 = 20

48. Explanation : Let the ages of Kiran and Bineesh are 7x and 9x respectively
7x = 9x-7 => x = 7/2 = 3.5
Kiran’s age = 7x = 7 × 3.5 = 24.5

49. Explanation : Given that , six years ago, the ratio of the ages of Vimal and Saroj = 6 : 5
Hence we can assume that

The age of Vimal six years ago = 6x
The age of Saroj six years ago = 5x
After 4 years, the ratio of their ages = 11 : 10
=> (6x+10) / (5x + 10) = 11/10
=> 10(6x + 10) = 11(5x + 10)
=> 5x = 10
=> x = 10/5 = 2
Saroj’s present age = 5x + 6 = 5×2 +6 = 16

50 . Explanation : Let Sunu’s & Manu’s ages one year ago be 6x & 7x years respetievely. Then Sunu’s age four years
hence= (6x+1)+4=6x+5 years Manu’s age four years hence= (7x+1)+4=7x+5 years
ie 6x+5/7x+5=7/8
=> 8(6x+5)=7(7x+5)
=> 48x+40=49x+35
=> 49x-48x=40-35
=> x=5
hence Sunu’s present age is=6x+1 = 6×5+1
=30+1=31 years
