Problems on Ages Questions in English

(B) Let the present ages of Sunil and Suresh be $2x$ and $3x$ respectively.
Four years ago,their ages were $(2x - 4)$ and $(3x - 4)$ respectively.
According to the problem,the ratio of their ages four years ago was $5:8$:
$\frac{2x - 4}{3x - 4} = \frac{5}{8}$
Cross-multiplying,we get:
$8(2x - 4) = 5(3x - 4)$
$16x - 32 = 15x - 20$
Solving for $x$:
$16x - 15x = 32 - 20$
$x = 12$
Therefore,the present age of Sunil $= 2x = 2 \times 12 = 24$ years.
The present age of Suresh $= 3x = 3 \times 12 = 36$ years.

(C) Let the present ages of Mohan and Madhu be $3x$ and $4x$ years respectively.
After $8$ years,their ages will be $(3x + 8)$ and $(4x + 8)$ years.
According to the problem,the ratio of their ages after $8$ years is $4:5$:
$\frac{3x + 8}{4x + 8} = \frac{4}{5}$
Cross-multiplying the terms:
$5(3x + 8) = 4(4x + 8)$
$15x + 40 = 16x + 32$
Rearranging the terms to solve for $x$:
$16x - 15x = 40 - 32$
$x = 8$
Therefore,the present age of Mohan is $3x = 3 \times 8 = 24$ years.
The present age of Madhu is $4x = 4 \times 8 = 32$ years.

(D) Let the age of the mother be $x$ years.
Age of the son $= \frac{x}{2}$ years.
Since the brother (son) is $7$ years older than his sister (daughter),the age of the daughter $= \frac{x}{2} - 7$ years.
The age of the father is three times that of the daughter,so the age of the father $= 3 \left( \frac{x}{2} - 7 \right)$ years.
Given that the wife (mother) is $9$ years younger than her husband (father),we have the equation: $x = 3 \left( \frac{x}{2} - 7 \right) - 9$.
Alternatively,Father's age - Mother's age $= 9$,so $3 \left( \frac{x}{2} - 7 \right) - x = 9$.
$\frac{3x}{2} - 21 - x = 9$.
$\frac{x}{2} - 21 = 9$.
$\frac{x}{2} = 30$.
$x = 60$.
Therefore,the age of the mother is $60$ years.

(B) Let the present age of the son be $x$ years.
Then,the present age of the father is $3x$ years.
Five years ago,the age of the son was $(x - 5)$ years and the age of the father was $(3x - 5)$ years.
According to the problem,the father was $4$ times as old as his son $5$ years ago:
$3x - 5 = 4(x - 5)$
$3x - 5 = 4x - 20$
$4x - 3x = 20 - 5$
$x = 15$
Therefore,the present age of the son is $15$ years.

(D) Let the ages of the elder and younger sons be $x_{1}$ and $x_{2}$ respectively.
$\therefore$ Age of father $= 2x_{1}$.
Ten years hence:
Age of father $= 2x_{1} + 10$.
Age of younger son $= x_{2} + 10$.
According to the problem,$2x_{1} + 10 = 3(x_{2} + 10)$ .... $(1)$.
Given that the difference between the ages of the two sons is $15 \text{ years}$,so $x_{1} - x_{2} = 15 \implies x_{2} = x_{1} - 15$.
Substitute $x_{2}$ into equation $(1)$:
$2x_{1} + 10 = 3(x_{1} - 15 + 10)$.
$2x_{1} + 10 = 3(x_{1} - 5)$.
$2x_{1} + 10 = 3x_{1} - 15$.
$x_{1} = 25$.
Therefore,the age of the elder son is $25 \text{ years}$.
Age of the father $= 2x_{1} = 2 \times 25 = 50 \text{ years}$.

(A) Let the present ages of $X$ and $Y$ be $x$ and $y$ respectively.
According to the problem,$x = \frac{1}{2}y$,which implies $y = 2x$ (Equation $1$).
After $20$ years,the age of $X$ will be $(x + 20)$ and the age of $Y$ will be $(y + 20)$.
The problem states that after $20$ years,$Y$'s age will be $1 \frac{1}{2}$ (or $\frac{3}{2}$) times $X$'s age:
$y + 20 = \frac{3}{2}(x + 20)$ (Equation $2$).
Substitute $y = 2x$ from Equation $1$ into Equation $2$:
$2x + 20 = \frac{3}{2}(x + 20)$.
Multiply both sides by $2$ to clear the fraction:
$4x + 40 = 3(x + 20)$.
$4x + 40 = 3x + 60$.
$4x - 3x = 60 - 40$.
$x = 20$.
Therefore,the present age of $X$ is $20$ years.

(A) Let the present age of Ronit be $x$ years.
Since the father is three times older than his son,the father's age is $x + 3x = 4x$ years.
After $8 \, \text{years}$,Ronit's age will be $(x + 8)$ and the father's age will be $(4x + 8)$.
According to the problem,$(4x + 8) = 2.5(x + 8)$.
$4x + 8 = 2.5x + 20$.
$4x - 2.5x = 20 - 8$.
$1.5x = 12$.
$x = 12 / 1.5 = 8$.
So,Ronit's present age is $8$ years and the father's present age is $4 \times 8 = 32$ years.
After further $8 \, \text{years}$ (total $16 \, \text{years}$ from now),Ronit's age will be $8 + 16 = 24$ years.
The father's age will be $32 + 16 = 48$ years.
Ratio of father's age to Ronit's age $= 48 / 24 = 2$.
Thus,the father will be $2$ times the age of Ronit.

(D) Let the ages of $Q, R,$ and $T$ be $q, r,$ and $t$ respectively.
According to the problem,$Q$ is as much younger than $R$ as he is older than $T$.
This can be expressed as: $r - q = q - t$.
Rearranging the terms,we get: $r + t = 2q$.
We are given that the sum of the ages of $R$ and $T$ is $60 \text{ years}$,so $r + t = 60$.
Substituting this into our equation: $2q = 60$,which gives $q = 30$.
Since $r + t = 60$,we have $r = 60 - t$.
The difference between $R$ and $Q$'s age is $r - q = (60 - t) - 30 = 30 - t$.
However,the problem implies a fixed difference. Let's re-evaluate: $r - q = q - t$. Since $q = 30$,then $r - 30 = 30 - t$,which means $r + t = 60$. The difference $r - q = r - 30$. From $r + t = 60$,we have $r = 60 - t$. The difference is $r - q = 60 - t - 30 = 30 - t$.
Wait,if $r - q = q - t$,then $r - q = 30 - t$. Since $r - q = q - t$,then $r - q = 30 - t$. Actually,$r - q = q - t = 30 - t$.
Given $r+t=60$,then $r-q = q-t implies r-30 = 30-t implies r+t=60$.
The difference $r-q$ is $r-30$. Since $r+t=60$,$r = 60-t$. The difference $r-q = 60-t-30 = 30-t$.
Actually,the difference $r-q$ is equal to $q-t$. Since $q=30$,$r-q = 30-t$.
Given the options,if we assume the difference is constant,$r-q = 15$ is the only logical deduction if $t=15$ and $r=45$.

(B) Let the present age of the son be $x$ years and the father be $y$ years.
$10$ years ago,the father's age was $y-10$ and the son's age was $x-10$.
According to the problem: $y-10 = 3(x-10) \implies y-10 = 3x-30 \implies y = 3x-20$ ..... $(1)$
$10$ years hence,the father's age will be $y+10$ and the son's age will be $x+10$.
According to the problem: $y+10 = 2(x+10) \implies y+10 = 2x+20 \implies y = 2x+10$ ..... $(2)$
Equating $(1)$ and $(2)$:
$3x-20 = 2x+10$
$3x-2x = 10+20$
$x = 30$
Substituting $x=30$ in $(2)$:
$y = 2(30)+10 = 60+10 = 70$
The ratio of their present ages is $y:x = 70:30 = 7:3$.

(D) Let the present ages of the son and the father be $x$ and $y$ respectively.
Eighteen years ago,the age of the son was $(x - 18)$ and the age of the father was $(y - 18)$.
According to the problem: $(y - 18) = 3(x - 18) \implies y - 18 = 3x - 54 \implies y = 3x - 36$ $(1)$.
At present,the father is twice as old as his son:
$y = 2x$ $(2)$.
Substituting $(2)$ into $(1)$:
$2x = 3x - 36$
$x = 36$.
Now,find the father's age:
$y = 2(36) = 72$.
The sum of their present ages is:
$x + y = 36 + 72 = 108$.

(D) Let the school ages of Neelam and Shaan be $5k$ and $6k$ respectively,where $k$ is a constant.
According to the problem,the ratio of one-third of Neelam's age to half of Shaan's age is given as:
$\frac{\frac{1}{3}(5k)}{\frac{1}{2}(6k)} = \frac{5k/3}{3k} = \frac{5k}{9k} = \frac{5}{9}$.
Since the ratio $\frac{5}{9}$ is consistent with the given condition for any value of $k$,the variable $k$ cancels out.
This implies that the given information is redundant and does not provide a specific value for $k$.
Therefore,the school age of Shaan $(6k)$ cannot be determined uniquely.

(C) Let the present ages of the two brothers be $x$ and $y$ respectively.
Given that the ratio of their present ages is $x:y = 1:2$,which implies $y = 2x$.
Five years ago,their ages were $(x-5)$ and $(y-5)$ respectively.
According to the problem,the ratio five years ago was $1:3$,so $\frac{x-5}{y-5} = \frac{1}{3}$.
Cross-multiplying gives $3(x-5) = y-5$,which simplifies to $3x - 15 = y - 5$.
Substituting $y = 2x$ into the equation: $3x - 15 = 2x - 5$.
Solving for $x$: $3x - 2x = 15 - 5$,so $x = 10$.
Therefore,the present ages are $x = 10 \text{ years}$ and $y = 2x = 20 \text{ years}$.
After $5 \text{ years}$,their ages will be $(10+5) = 15 \text{ years}$ and $(20+5) = 25 \text{ years}$.
The ratio of their ages after $5 \text{ years}$ will be $\frac{15}{25} = \frac{3}{5}$.

(D) Let the present age of the son be $x$ years.
Then,the present age of the man is $(x + 24)$ years.
After $2$ years,the age of the son will be $(x + 2)$ years and the age of the man will be $(x + 24 + 2) = (x + 26)$ years.
According to the problem,after $2$ years,the man's age will be twice the son's age:
$x + 26 = 2(x + 2)$
$x + 26 = 2x + 4$
$26 - 4 = 2x - x$
$x = 22$
Thus,the present age of the son is $22$ years.

(A) Let the present ages of $X$ and $Y$ be $5k$ and $6k$ respectively,where $k$ is a constant.
After $7$ years,the age of $X$ will be $5k + 7$ and the age of $Y$ will be $6k + 7$.
According to the problem,the ratio of their ages after $7$ years will be $6:7$.
So,$\frac{5k + 7}{6k + 7} = \frac{6}{7}$.
Cross-multiplying,we get $7(5k + 7) = 6(6k + 7)$.
$35k + 49 = 36k + 42$.
Rearranging the terms,$36k - 35k = 49 - 42$.
$k = 7$.
The present age of $X$ is $5k = 5 \times 7 = 35$ years.

(A) Let the present ages of $P$ and $Q$ be $5k$ and $7k$ respectively.
According to the problem,the difference between $Q$'s present age $(7k)$ and $P$'s age after $6$ years $(5k + 6)$ is $2$.
Therefore,$7k - (5k + 6) = 2$.
Expanding the equation: $7k - 5k - 6 = 2$.
$2k - 6 = 2$.
$2k = 8$.
$k = 4$.
The sum of their present ages is $5k + 7k = 12k$.
Substituting $k = 4$,the sum is $12 \times 4 = 48$ years.

(B) Let the present ages of Arun and Deepak be $4k$ and $3k$ respectively.
According to the problem,after $6$ years,Arun's age will be $26$ years.
So,$4k + 6 = 26$.
Subtracting $6$ from both sides,we get $4k = 20$.
Dividing by $4$,we find $k = 5$.
Therefore,the present age of Deepak is $3k = 3 \times 5 = 15$ years.

(A) Let the present ages of Sameer and Anand be $5k$ and $4k$ respectively.
After $3$ years,their ages will be $(5k + 3)$ and $(4k + 3)$.
According to the problem,the ratio of their ages after $3$ years will be $11:9$.
So,$\frac{5k + 3}{4k + 3} = \frac{11}{9}$.
Cross-multiplying,we get $9(5k + 3) = 11(4k + 3)$.
$45k + 27 = 44k + 33$.
$45k - 44k = 33 - 27$.
$k = 6$.
Therefore,the present age of Anand $= 4k = 4 \times 6 = 24$ years.

(D) Let the present ages of $P$ and $Q$ be $6k$ and $7k$ respectively.
Given that $Q$ is $4 \text{ years}$ older than $P$,so $7k - 6k = 4$,which implies $k = 4$.
The present age of $P$ is $6 \times 4 = 24 \text{ years}$ and the present age of $Q$ is $7 \times 4 = 28 \text{ years}$.
After $4 \text{ years}$,the age of $P$ will be $24 + 4 = 28 \text{ years}$ and the age of $Q$ will be $28 + 4 = 32 \text{ years}$.
The ratio of their ages after $4 \text{ years}$ will be $\frac{28}{32} = \frac{7}{8}$.

(A) Let the present ages of Kunal and Sagar be $K$ and $S$ years respectively.
Six years ago,the ratio of their ages was $6:5$:
$\frac{K-6}{S-6} = \frac{6}{5}$
$5(K-6) = 6(S-6)$
$5K - 30 = 6S - 36$
$5K - 6S = -6$ ...... $(1)$
Four years hence,the ratio of their ages will be $11:10$:
$\frac{K+4}{S+4} = \frac{11}{10}$
$10(K+4) = 11(S+4)$
$10K + 40 = 11S + 44$
$10K - 11S = 4$ ...... $(2)$
To solve for $S$,multiply equation $(1)$ by $2$:
$10K - 12S = -12$ ...... $(3)$
Subtract equation $(2)$ from equation $(3)$:
$(10K - 12S) - (10K - 11S) = -12 - 4$
$-S = -16$
$S = 16$
Therefore,the present age of Sagar is $16$ years.

(A) Let the present age of the person be $x$ years.
According to the problem,the condition is given as:
$x = 3(x + 3) - 3(x - 3)$
Expanding the terms:
$x = 3x + 9 - 3x + 9$
Simplifying the equation:
$x = (3x - 3x) + (9 + 9)$
$x = 18$
Therefore,the present age of the person is $18$ years.

(C) Let Mohan's present age be $x$ years and Ram's present age be $y$ years.
According to the first condition,$10$ years ago:
$x - 10 = 3(y - 10)$
$x - 10 = 3y - 30$
$x - 3y = -20$ .......$(1)$
According to the second condition,$10$ years hence:
$x + 10 = 2(y + 10)$
$x + 10 = 2y + 20$
$x - 2y = 10$ .......$(2)$
Subtracting equation $(1)$ from equation $(2)$:
$(x - 2y) - (x - 3y) = 10 - (-20)$
$x - 2y - x + 3y = 10 + 20$
$y = 30$
Substituting $y = 30$ in equation $(2)$:
$x - 2(30) = 10$
$x - 60 = 10$
$x = 70$
Therefore,Mohan's present age is $70$ years.

(A) Let the present age of $Ram$ be $x$ years.
Since the difference between their ages is $16$ years,the present age of $Shyam$ is $(x + 16)$ years.
$6$ years ago,$Ram$'s age was $(x - 6)$ years and $Shyam$'s age was $(x + 16 - 6) = (x + 10)$ years.
According to the problem,$6$ years ago,$Shyam$'s age was thrice that of $Ram$'s:
$x + 10 = 3(x - 6)$
$x + 10 = 3x - 18$
$2x = 28$
$x = 14$
Therefore,$Ram$'s present age is $14$ years and $Shyam$'s present age is $14 + 16 = 30$ years.

(B) Let the present age of Rohit be $x$ years.
According to the problem,$15$ years from now,his age will be $(x + 15)$ years.
$15$ years ago,his age was $(x - 15)$ years.
Given that $15$ years hence,he will be four times as old as he was $15$ years ago:
$x + 15 = 4(x - 15)$
$x + 15 = 4x - 60$
$4x - x = 15 + 60$
$3x = 75$
$x = 25$
Therefore,the present age of Rohit is $25$ years.

(B) Let the present age be $x$ years.
According to the problem:
$125 \% \text{ of } (x - 10) = x$
$83 \frac{1}{3} \% \text{ of } (x + 10) = x$
Since both expressions equal $x$, we can equate them:
$125 \% \text{ of } (x - 10) = 83 \frac{1}{3} \% \text{ of } (x + 10)$
Converting percentages to fractions:
$125 \% = \frac{125}{100} = \frac{5}{4}$
$83 \frac{1}{3} \% = \frac{250}{300} = \frac{5}{6}$
So, $\frac{5}{4}(x - 10) = \frac{5}{6}(x + 10)$
Dividing both sides by $5$:
$\frac{1}{4}(x - 10) = \frac{1}{6}(x + 10)$
$6(x - 10) = 4(x + 10)$
$6x - 60 = 4x + 40$
$2x = 100$
$x = 50 \, \text{years}$.

(A) Let the son's age be $x$ years and the father's age be $y$ years.
According to the problem,we have two linear equations:
$2x + y = 70$ ---(Equation $1$)
$x + 2y = 95$ ---(Equation $2$)
To solve for $y$ (father's age),multiply Equation $1$ by $2$:
$4x + 2y = 140$ ---(Equation $3$)
Now,subtract Equation $2$ from Equation $3$:
$(4x + 2y) - (x + 2y) = 140 - 95$
$3x = 45$,so $x = 15$.
Substitute $x = 15$ into Equation $1$:
$2(15) + y = 70$
$30 + y = 70$
$y = 70 - 30 = 40$.
Therefore,the father's age is $40 \text{ years}$.

(C) The sum of the ages of $5$ members $3 \text{ years}$ ago was $5 \times 17 = 85 \text{ years}$.
Present sum of the ages of these $5$ members $= 85 + (5 \times 3) = 85 + 15 = 100 \text{ years}$.
Now,the family has $6$ members (including the baby),and the average age is still $17 \text{ years}$.
Total sum of the ages of $6$ members today $= 6 \times 17 = 102 \text{ years}$.
Therefore,the age of the baby $= 102 - 100 = 2 \text{ years}$.

(B) Let the present ages of $A$ and $B$ be $4x$ and $5x$ years respectively.
According to the problem,the difference between the present age of $A$ $(4x)$ and the age of $B$ after $5$ years $(5x + 5)$ is $3$.
Note: Since $B$ is older,the difference is $(5x + 5) - 4x = 3$.
$x + 5 = 3$
$x = 3 - 5 = -2$.
Wait,let us re-evaluate the condition: "difference between the present age of $A$ and $B$ years hence is $3$". If it means $|(B+5) - A| = 3$ or $|A - (B+5)| = 3$.
Given $A=4x, B=5x$. $(5x+5) - 4x = 3 \implies x = -2$ (Impossible).
If the difference is $A - (B+5) = 3$ (Impossible as $B > A$).
Let us re-read: "difference between the present age of $A$ and $B$ years hence is $3$". Perhaps it means $B$'s age $5$ years hence minus $A$'s present age is $3$ is not possible. Let's assume the difference is $|A - B| = 3$ is not given. Let's assume the difference between $B$'s present age and $A$'s age $5$ years hence is $3$: $5x - (4x + 5) = 3 \implies x - 5 = 3 \implies x = 8$.
Then $A = 4 \times 8 = 32$ and $B = 5 \times 8 = 40$.
Sum $= 32 + 40 = 72$ years.

(D) Let the present ages of $A$ and $B$ be $6x$ and $5x$ years respectively.
Given that the sum of their ages is $44$ years:
$6x + 5x = 44$
$11x = 44$
$x = 4$
Therefore,the present age of $A = 6 \times 4 = 24 \text{ years}$ and the present age of $B = 5 \times 4 = 20 \text{ years}$.
After $8$ years,the age of $A$ will be $24 + 8 = 32 \text{ years}$ and the age of $B$ will be $20 + 8 = 28 \text{ years}$.
The ratio of their ages after $8$ years will be $32: 28$.
Dividing both terms by $4$,we get $8: 7$.

(C) Let the age of Samir and Ashok one year ago be $4x$ and $3x$ years respectively.
Then,their present ages are:
Samir's present age $= (4x + 1)$ years
Ashok's present age $= (3x + 1)$ years
One year hence (after one year),their ages will be:
Samir's age $= (4x + 1 + 1) = (4x + 2)$ years
Ashok's age $= (3x + 1 + 1) = (3x + 2)$ years
According to the problem,the ratio of their ages one year hence is $5:4$:
$\frac{4x + 2}{3x + 2} = \frac{5}{4}$
Cross-multiplying,we get:
$4(4x + 2) = 5(3x + 2)$
$16x + 8 = 15x + 10$
$16x - 15x = 10 - 8$
$x = 2$
The sum of their present ages is:
$(4x + 1) + (3x + 1) = 7x + 2$
Substituting $x = 2$:
$7(2) + 2 = 14 + 2 = 16$ years.

(C) Let the present ages of Ashok and Pradeep be $4x$ and $3x$ respectively.
According to the problem,Ashok will be $26$ years old after $6$ years.
So,$4x + 6 = 26$.
Subtracting $6$ from both sides,we get $4x = 20$.
Dividing by $4$,we get $x = 5$.
Therefore,the present age of Pradeep is $3x = 3 \times 5 = 15$ years.

(B) Let the ages of Jayesh,Anil,and Prashant be $J$,$A$,and $P$ respectively.
According to the problem,Jayesh is as much younger to Anil as he is older to Prashant.
This can be expressed as: $A - J = J - P$.
Rearranging the terms,we get: $A + P = 2J$.
We are given that the sum of the ages of Anil and Prashant is $48 \text{ years}$,so $A + P = 48$.
Substituting this value into the equation: $2J = 48$.
Therefore,$J = 24 \text{ years}$.

(C) Let Mr. Sohanlal's present age be $x$ $\text{years}$ and his son's present age be $y$ $\text{years}$.
According to the first condition, $5 \, \text{years}$ ago:
$(x - 5) = 3(y - 5)$
$x - 5 = 3y - 15$
$x - 3y = -10$ --- (Equation $1$)
According to the second condition, $10 \, \text{years}$ hence:
$(x + 10) = 2(y + 10)$
$x + 10 = 2y + 20$
$x - 2y = 10$ --- (Equation $2$)
Subtracting Equation $1$ from Equation $2$:
$(x - 2y) - (x - 3y) = 10 - (-10)$
$x - 2y - x + 3y = 10 + 10$
$y = 20$
Substituting $y = 20$ in Equation $2$:
$x - 2(20) = 10$
$x - 40 = 10$
$x = 50$
Therefore, Mr. Sohanlal's present age is $50 \, \text{years}$.

(B) Let the present age of the father be $F$ and the present age of the son be $S$.
According to the first condition: $3F = 8S$,which implies $F = \frac{8}{3}S$.
According to the second condition,after $8$ years: $(F + 8) = 2(S + 8)$.
Substitute $F = \frac{8}{3}S$ into the second equation:
$\frac{8}{3}S + 8 = 2(S + 8)$
$\frac{8}{3}S + 8 = 2S + 16$
Multiply the entire equation by $3$ to clear the fraction:
$8S + 24 = 6S + 48$
$8S - 6S = 48 - 24$
$2S = 24$
$S = 12$.
Now,find the father's age $F$:
$F = \frac{8}{3} \times 12 = 8 \times 4 = 32$.
Thus,the present age of the father is $32$ years and the son is $12$ years.

(B) Let the father's present age be $x$ years.
Then,the son's present age is $(45 - x)$ years.
$5$ years ago,the father's age was $(x - 5)$ years and the son's age was $(45 - x - 5) = (40 - x)$ years.
According to the problem,the product of their ages $5$ years ago was $4$ times the father's age at that time:
$(x - 5)(40 - x) = 4(x - 5)$
Since $x$ cannot be $5$ (as the son's age would be $40$ and the father's age $5$,which is impossible for a father-son relationship in this context),we can divide both sides by $(x - 5)$:
$40 - x = 4$
$x = 40 - 4 = 36$
Therefore,the present age of the father is $36$ years.

(C) Let the present ages of the father and the son be $x$ and $y$ years,respectively.
According to the first condition,one year ago:
$(x - 1) = 4(y - 1)$
$x - 1 = 4y - 4$
$x - 4y = -3$ ..........$(1)$
According to the second condition,in $6$ years:
$(x + 6) = 2(y + 6) + 9$
$x + 6 = 2y + 12 + 9$
$x - 2y = 15$ ..........$(2)$
Subtracting equation $(1)$ from equation $(2)$:
$(x - 2y) - (x - 4y) = 15 - (-3)$
$2y = 18$
$y = 9$
Substituting $y = 9$ into equation $(2)$:
$x - 2(9) = 15$
$x - 18 = 15$
$x = 33$
Therefore,the ratio of their present ages is $x : y = 33 : 9 = 11 : 3$.

(B) Let $A$'s age be $x$ years.
$B$'s age is $2x$ years.
$C$'s age is $(x + 17)$ years.
According to the problem,the sum of their ages is $185$ years:
$x + 2x + (x + 17) = 185$
$4x + 17 = 185$
$4x = 185 - 17$
$4x = 168$
$x = 42$
Therefore,$A$'s age is $42$ years,$B$'s age is $2 \times 42 = 84$ years,and $C$'s age is $42 + 17 = 59$ years.

(A) Let the present age of the father be $x$ and the sum of the present ages of his two children be $y$.
According to the first condition,$x = 3y$ ......... $(1)$
After $20 \, \text{years}$,the father's age will be $(x + 20)$ and the sum of the children's ages will be $(y + 20 + 20)$ because each child ages by $20 \, \text{years}$.
According to the second condition,$x + 20 = y + 40$ ......... $(2)$
Substitute $x = 3y$ from $(1)$ into $(2)$:
$3y + 20 = y + 40$
$2y = 20$
$y = 10$
Now,find the father's age $x$:
$x = 3 \times 10 = 30 \, \text{years}$.

(B) Let the present ages of $A$ and $B$ be $5x$ and $7x$ respectively.
According to the problem,$18$ years ago,the ratio of their ages was $8: 13$.
So,$\frac{5x - 18}{7x - 18} = \frac{8}{13}$.
Cross-multiplying gives: $13(5x - 18) = 8(7x - 18)$.
$65x - 234 = 56x - 144$.
$65x - 56x = 234 - 144$.
$9x = 90$.
$x = 10$.
Therefore,the present age of $A = 5x = 5 \times 10 = 50$ years.

(C) Convert all ages into months for easier calculation.
Initial total age of $30$ students = $30 \times (14 \times 12 + 4) = 30 \times 172 = 5160$ months.
New total age of $35$ students = $35 \times (13 \times 12 + 9) = 35 \times 165 = 5775$ months.
Total age of $5$ new students = $5775 - 5160 = 615$ months.
Age of the youngest student = $9$ years $11$ months = $(9 \times 12 + 11) = 119$ months.
Total age of the remaining $4$ students = $615 - 119 = 496$ months.
Average age of the remaining $4$ students = $496 / 4 = 124$ months.
$124$ months = $10$ years $4$ months.

(D) Let the present age of the elder brother be $A$ and the younger brother be $B$.
Given that the difference between their ages is $8 \, \text{years}$, so $A - B = 8$ (Equation $1$).
After $10 \, \text{years}$, the age of the elder brother will be $(A + 10)$ and the younger brother will be $(B + 10)$.
The sum of their ages after $10 \, \text{years}$ will be double their present sum $(A + B)$.
So, $(A + 10) + (B + 10) = 2(A + B)$.
$A + B + 20 = 2A + 2B$.
$A + B = 20$ (Equation $2$).
Adding Equation $1$ and Equation $2$: $(A - B) + (A + B) = 8 + 20 \Rightarrow 2A = 28 \Rightarrow A = 14$.
Substituting $A = 14$ in Equation $2$: $14 + B = 20 \Rightarrow B = 6$.
The ratio of the younger brother's age to the elder brother's age is $B : A = 6 : 14 = 3 : 7$.

(D) Let the sum of the ages of the five members be $S$. The average age is $S/5$.
After $3$ years,the sum of the ages of the same five members would have been $S + (5 \times 3) = S + 15$.
Let the age of the replaced member be $x$ and the new member be $y$.
The new sum of ages is $S - x + y$.
According to the problem,the new average is equal to the average $3$ years ago,which is $(S/5) - 3$.
So,$(S - x + y) / 5 = (S/5) - 3$.
Multiplying by $5$,we get $S - x + y = S - 15$.
Therefore,$x - y = 15$.
The difference between the ages of the replaced and the new member is $15$ years.

(C) Let the present ages of $A$ and $B$ be $7x$ and $9x$ years respectively.
$6$ years ago,the age of $A$ was $(7x - 6)$ and the age of $B$ was $(9x - 6)$.
According to the problem,the ratio of $\frac{1}{3}$ of $A$'s age to $\frac{1}{3}$ of $B$'s age $6$ years ago was $1:2$:
$\frac{\frac{1}{3}(7x - 6)}{\frac{1}{3}(9x - 6)} = \frac{1}{2}$
This simplifies to:
$\frac{7x - 6}{9x - 6} = \frac{1}{2}$
Cross-multiplying gives:
$2(7x - 6) = 1(9x - 6)$
$14x - 12 = 9x - 6$
$5x = 6$
$x = \frac{6}{5}$
Now,we need the ratio of their ages $6$ years from now:
Age of $A$ after $6$ years $= 7x + 6 = 7(\frac{6}{5}) + 6 = \frac{42}{5} + 6 = \frac{42 + 30}{5} = \frac{72}{5}$
Age of $B$ after $6$ years $= 9x + 6 = 9(\frac{6}{5}) + 6 = \frac{54}{5} + 6 = \frac{54 + 30}{5} = \frac{84}{5}$
Required ratio $= \frac{72/5}{84/5} = \frac{72}{84} = \frac{6}{7} = 6:7$.

(C) Kapil's age $8\, \text{years}$ ago was $5\, \text{years}$.
So, Kapil's present age $= 5 + 8 = 13\, \text{years}$.
Kapil's age after $6\, \text{years} = 13 + 6 = 19\, \text{years}$.
According to the problem, after $6\, \text{years}$, Romila's father's age will be twice Kapil's age.
Father's age after $6\, \text{years} = 2 \times 19 = 38\, \text{years}$.
Father's present age $= 38 - 6 = 32\, \text{years}$.
Romila's present age is $\frac{1}{4}$ of her father's present age.
Romila's present age $= \frac{1}{4} \times 32 = 8\, \text{years}$.

(D) Let the number of unmarried women workers be $x$.
Total number of children = $16$.
Average age of children = $8 \text{ years}$.
Total age of children = $16 \times 8 = 128 \text{ years}$.
Let the number of women workers be $W = 10 + x$.
Average age of women workers = $22 \text{ years}$.
Total age of women workers = $22(10 + x) = 220 + 22x$.
Total number of workers = $16 + (10 + x) = 26 + x$.
The average age of all workers is $15 \text{ years}$.
Therefore,$\frac{128 + 220 + 22x}{26 + x} = 15$.
$348 + 22x = 15(26 + x)$.
$348 + 22x = 390 + 15x$.
$22x - 15x = 390 - 348$.
$7x = 42$.
$x = 6$.
Thus,the number of unmarried women workers is $6$.

(D) Let the present age of the son be $x$ years.
Then,the present age of the father is $3x$ years.
According to the problem,after $5$ years:
Father's age = $3x + 5$
Son's age = $x + 5$
The condition states: $2(3x + 5) = 5(x + 5)$
Expanding the equation: $6x + 10 = 5x + 25$
Subtracting $5x$ from both sides: $x + 10 = 25$
Subtracting $10$ from both sides: $x = 15$
So,the son's present age is $15$ years.
The father's present age is $3x = 3(15) = 45$ years.
Thus,the present ages are $45$ and $15$ years.

(A) Let the sum of the ages of the $4$ members $5$ $years$ ago be $94$ $years$.
Since there are $4$ members,the total increase in their ages over $5$ $years$ is $4 \times 5 = 20$ $years$.
Therefore,the sum of their present ages is $94 + 20 = 114$ $years$.
Now,the daughter is replaced by a daughter-in-law,and the new sum of their ages is $92$ $years$.
Let the age of the daughter be $D$ and the age of the daughter-in-law be $L$.
The sum of the ages of the other $3$ members remains the same.
So,$(Sum \text{ of } 3 \text{ members}) + D = 114$ and $(Sum \text{ of } 3 \text{ members}) + L = 92$.
Subtracting the two equations: $D - L = 114 - 92 = 22$ $years$.
Thus,the difference between the age of the daughter and that of the daughter-in-law is $22$ $years$.

(D) $1$. Parineeta's age after $9$ years is $33$ years. Therefore,Parineeta's present age $= 33 - 9 = 24$ years.
$2$. Manisha is $9$ years younger than Parineeta. Therefore,Manisha's present age $= 24 - 9 = 15$ years.
$3$. The difference between Deepali's and Manisha's age is equal to Parineeta's present age ($24$ years). Let Deepali's age be $D$. So,$D - 15 = 24$,which gives $D = 24 + 15 = 39$ years.
$4$. The ratio of Manisha's age to Deepali's age is $15:39$. Simplifying this ratio by dividing by $3$,we get $5:13$.
$5$. Given the ratio is $5:x$,comparing $5:13$ with $5:x$,we find $x = 13$.

(C) Let the present age of Ram be $6x$ and Rakesh be $11x$.
According to the problem,$4$ years ago,their ages were $(6x - 4)$ and $(11x - 4)$ respectively.
The ratio of their ages $4$ years ago was $1:2$,so:
$\frac{6x - 4}{11x - 4} = \frac{1}{2}$
By cross-multiplying,we get:
$2(6x - 4) = 1(11x - 4)$
$12x - 8 = 11x - 4$
$12x - 11x = 8 - 4$
$x = 4$
Therefore,the present age of Rakesh is $11x = 11 \times 4 = 44$ years.
Rakesh's age after $5$ years will be $44 + 5 = 49$ years.

(D) Let the present ages of $Ram$,$Rohan$,and $Raj$ be $3x$,$4x$,and $5x$ respectively.
The average of their ages is given as $28$ years.
$\frac{3x + 4x + 5x}{3} = 28$
$\frac{12x}{3} = 28$
$4x = 28$
$x = 7$ years.
The present age of $Ram = 3x = 3 \times 7 = 21$ years.
The present age of $Rohan = 4x = 4 \times 7 = 28$ years.
After $5$ years,the age of $Ram = 21 + 5 = 26$ years.
After $5$ years,the age of $Rohan = 28 + 5 = 33$ years.
The sum of their ages after $5$ years $= 26 + 33 = 59$ years.

(B) Let the age of the daughter be $x$ years.
According to the problem,the brother is $5$ years older than the sister (daughter),so the brother's age is $(x + 5)$ years.
The brother is also $20$ years younger than the mother,which means the mother's age is $(x + 5 + 20) = (x + 25)$ years.
We are also given that the mother's age is twice the daughter's age,so $2x = x + 25$.
Solving for $x$: $2x - x = 25$,which gives $x = 25$ years.
Thus,the mother's age is $2 \times 25 = 50$ years.
The father is $10$ years older than the mother,so the father's age is $50 + 10 = 60$ years.
