    The present age of A is 7/4 times to that of his marriage age. Present age of his brother is 1/4th of his present age. If A was married 36 years ago then find the present age of his brother.

    A 27 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    D 45 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the age of A when he was married be x years. Present age of A = 9x/5 Present age of his brother = (1/2) × (9x/5) = 9x/10 According to Question, => x + 40 = 9/5x => 4/5x = 40 => x = 50 years Present age of his brother = (9/10) × 50 = 45 years
