Four years ago, the ratio of the ages of A and B was 5 : 9. 8 years hence the ratio will be 2 : 3 respectively. Find the present age of B?

Explanation:
Let 4 years ago A’s age = 5x, B’s age = 9x
Then 4+8 = 12 years after – (5x+12)/(9x+12) = 2/3
Solve, x = 4
B’s present age = 9x+4 = 40
Eight years ago, A was 4 times as old as B. After 8 years A will be twice as old as B. What are their ages respectively?
Let B’s age 8 yrs ago = x, then A’s age = 4x
After (8+8) = 16 years:
(4x+16) = 2 * (x+8)
Solve, x = 8
A’s present age = 4x+8 = 40
B’s present age = x+8 = 16
Present age of B is twice that of A. 4 years hence B’s age will be 4 less than twice the age of A. Find the difference in their ages?
Let A’s present age = x, Then B’s present age = 2x
After 4 years, (2x+4) = 2(x+4) – 4
0 = 0
After 6 years, A’s age will be 3/7th of B’s age. Also 10 years ago, ratio of ages of A and B was 1 : 5. What is A’s present age?
Let 10 years ago, A’s age = x, B’s age = 5x
After (10+6) = 16 years, (x+16) = (3/7) (5x+16)
So A’s present age = x+10 = 18
B is twice older than C and A is 2 years older than B. If the total of all of their ages is 27, what will be total of the ages of A and C 6 years hence?
Let C’s present age = x, then B’s = 2x, and A’s = 2x+2
Given: x+2x+(2x+2) = 27
Solve, x = 5
A’s present age = 2x+2 = 12
C’s present age = x = 5
6 years after A+C)’s age = 12+5+6+6 = 29
The sum of the present ages of A and B is 50. After 2 years B’s age will be 2 more than C’s age then. If A is younger than C by 4 years, find the age of B 8 years ago.
The difference between B and C’s age will remain same
Let C’s present age = x, so B’s present age = (x+2)
sum of the present ages of A and B is 50, so A’s age becomes = 50-(x+2) =48-x
now A is younger than C by 4 years, so 48-x = x – 4
Solve, x = 26
B’s present age = x+2 = 28
Before 8 years, B’s age = 28-8 = 20
After 10 years, A’s age will be twice that of B’s age. A’s present age is 6 times that of C. If B’s eighth birthday was celebrated 2 years ago, then what is C’s present age?
Let C’s present age = x, then A’s present age = 6x
Let B’s present age is y.
Then after 10 years, (6x+10) = 2 (y+10)
Solve, y = 3x-5 = B’s present age
B’s eighth birthday was celebrated 2 years ago, so B’s present age = 10, and also 3x-5 = 10
The ratio of the present ages of A to B is 5 : 3. The ratio of A’s age 4 years ago to B’s age 4 years hence is 1 : 1. What is the ratio of A’s age 4 years hence to B’s age 4 years ago?
Let A’s present age = 5x, and B’s = 3x
Ratio of A’s age 4 years ago to B’s age 4 years hence is 1 : 1. So
(5x-4)/(3x+4) = 1/1
Solve x = 4
So A’s present age = 20, and B’s = 12
Required ratio = (20+4) : (12-4)
Present age of a father is three times more than his son. 8 years hence, father’s age will be 2 and a half times of his son’s age. After 8 more years, how many times would father be his son’s age?
Let present age of son = x, then of father = x+3x = 4x
After 8 years, (4x+8) = (5/2) (x+8)
Required ratio = (4x+16) : (x+16) = 2 : 1
Age of A is three times the sum of ages of B and C. 5 years hence, A’s age will be twice the sum of ages of B and C. The total of their present ages is
Let (B+C)’s present age= x
Then A’s present age = 3x
After 5 years, (3x+5) = 2*(x+5+5)
Solve, x = 15
Sum = x+3x = 4x = 60
