Question

    Rohit's current age matches Rahul's age from 5 years earlier. If the age of Rohit 10 years from now will be the same as Rahul's age 5 years from now, what is Rohit's current age?

    A 45 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 50 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 55 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 40 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E cannot be determined Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the present age of Rahul be x years Therefore, present age of Rohit = (x – 5) years According to the question, (x – 5 + 10)/(x + 5) = 1/1 Or, x + 5 = x + 5 Therefore, present age of Rohit cannot be determined.
