Question: The ages of Rima and Bina are in the ratio 9 : 8 respectively. After 5 years, the ratio of their ages will be 10 : 9. What is the difference in their ages?

Solution:
Let Rima’s age be = 9x years.
Then Bina’s age = 8x years

According to the question,
(9x + 5)/(8x + 5) = 10/9
⇒ 9(9x + 5) = 10(8x + 5)
⇒ 81x + 45 = 80x + 40
⇒ 81x - 80x = 40 - 45
⇒ - x = - 5
∴ x = 5

∴ The difference in their ages = 9x - 8x = x = 5 years.

Question: The average age of three boys is 15 years. If their ages are in ratio 3 : 5 : 7, the age of the youngest boy is:

Solution:
The sum of the ages of three boys = 45 years
Now, (3x + 5x + 7x) = 45
⇒ 15x = 45
⇒ x = 3

So, the age of the youngest boy = 3x
= (3 × 3) years
= 9 years

Question: A father said to his son, "I was as old as you are at the present at the time of your birth". If the father's age is 38 years now, the son's age five years back was:
 
Solution:
Let, at present son is x years old
so, at the time of his birth, the father was x years old
 
∴ at present the age of the father is = (x + x) year
= 2x years

Now,
2x = 38
⇒ x = 38/2
∴ x = 19 years
 
∴ The son's age five years back was = 19 - 6
= 13 years

Question: The average of a group of men is increased by 5 years when a person aged of 18 years is replaced by a new person of aged 38 years. How many men are there in the group?

Solution: 
Let N be the no. of persons in the group.

Question: A is two years older than B who is twice as old as C. If the total of the ages of A, B and C be 37, then how old is B?
 
Solution:
Let, C's age be x years.
Then, B's age = 2x years.
A's age = (2x + 2) years.
 
According to the question,
(2x + 2) + 2x + x = 37
⇒ 5x = 37 - 2
⇒ 5x = 35
∴ x = 7
 
Hence, B's age = 2x = 14 years.

Solution:
Let the number of rest workers = x

Now, According to the question,
(7 + x) × 8000 = 12000 × 7 + 6000x
⇒ 56000 + 8000x = 84000 + 6000x
⇒ 2000x = 28000
⇒ x = 14

So the total number of worker
= 14 + 7
= 21

Question: Ayesha's father was 38 years of age when she was born while her mother was 36 years old when her brother four years younger to her was born. What is the difference between the ages of her parents?

Solution:
Ayesha's brother is 4 years younger than her.

Ayesha's mother was 36 years old when her brother was born.
So, the age of Ayesha's mother when she was born = 36 - 4 years = 32 years. 
 
And when Ayesha was born her father's age = 38 years

∴ The difference between the ages of her parents
= 38 - 32 years
= 6 years

Question: The present ages of the three persons in proportions 4 : 7 : 9. Eight years ago, the sum of their ages was 56. Find their present ages (in years).

Solution:
Let their present ages be 4x, 7x and 9x years respectively.
Then, (4x - 8) + (7x - 8) + (9x - 8) = 56
⇒ 20x = 80
⇒ x = 4

∴ Their present ages are 4x = 16 years, 7x = 28 years and 9x = 36 years respectively.

⇒ 3x + 12 = 2x + 24
⇒ 3x - 2x = 24 - 12
∴ x = 12

Question: A pupil's marks were wrongly entered as 83 instead of 63. Due to that, the average marks for the class got increased by half. The number of pupils in the class is:

Solution:
Let there be 'p' pupils in the class.

Total increase in marks = p × 1/2= p/2
∴ p/2 = (83 - 63)
⇒ p/2 = 20

Question: Ten years ago, a man was seven times as old as his son. Two years hence, twice his age will be equal to five times the age of his son. What is the present age of the son?

Solution:
Let the son's age 10 years ago be x years
Then, man's age 10 years ago = 7x years

Son's present age = (x + 10) years,
Man's present age = (7x + 10) years

According to the question,
2[(7x + 10) + 2] = 5[(x + 10) + 2]
⇒ 2(7x + 12) = 5(x + 12)
⇒ 14x + 24 = 5x + 60
⇒ 9x = 36
⇒ x = 4
 
Son's present age = (x + 10) years
= (4 + 10) years
= 14 years

30 of 60% = 18
40 of 100% = 40

The number of pass candidates are 2 + 6 + 18 + 40 = 66 out of total 100.

Hence, Pass percentage = 66%

Solution:
Let the ages of children be x, (x + 3), (x + 6), (x + 9) and (x + 12) years.
Then, x + (x + 3) + (x + 6) + (x + 9) + (x + 12) = 50
⇒ 5x + 30 = 50
⇒ 5x = 50 - 30 
⇒ 5x = 20
⇒ x = 4

∴ Age of the youngest child = x = 4 years.

Question: A man is 26 years older than his son. In two years, his age will be twice the age of his son. The present age of his son is:

Solution: 
Let the son's present age be x years.
Then, the man's present age = (x + 26) years.

⇒ x + 28 = 2x + 4
⇒ x = 24

∴ The present age of his son = 24 years.

Question: A passenger travels from Dhaka to Cumilla at a speed of 30 kmph and return with a speed of 60 kmph. What is the average speed?

Solution:
Let the total distance be 60 km [L.C.M. of 30 kmph and 60 kmph]

Time to cover 60 km distance at the speed of 30 km/hr = 60/30 = 2 hrs
Time to cover 60 km distance at the speed of 60 km/hr = 60/60 = 1 hr

Total distance = 60 + 60 = 120 km

Total time = 2 hrs + 1 hrs = 3 hrs

∴ Average speed = 120/3 = 40 km/hr
