Aptitude Day 31

Problems on Ages

1. My brother is 3 years elder to me. My father was 28 years of age when my sister was born while my mother was 26 years of age when I was born. If my sister was 4 years of age when my brother was born, then, what was the age of my father and mother respectively when my brother was born?

Solution:

                My father’s age when my sister was born = 28 years.

                My mother’s age when I was born = 26 years.

                Therefore,

                       My father’s age when my brother was born = 28 + 4 = 32 years.

                       My mother’s age when my brother was born = 26-3 = 23 years.

2. A Person was asked to state his age in years. His reply was, “Take my age three years hence, multiply it by 3 and then subtract three times my age three years ago and you will know how old I am.” What was the age of the person?

Solution:

                  Let the present age of the person be x.

                  [(x+3)*3]-3(x-3) = x      [As per the condition]

                     3x+9-3x+9 =x

                            x =18.

                 The person’s age is 18 years.
