	A.  2 years
	B.  4 years
	C.  6years
	D.  12 years

Solution

Mother's age when Ayesha's brother was born = 36 years. Father's age when Ayesha's brother was born = (38+4) years. = 42 years. Required difference = (42-36) = 6 years.

8.	Sneh's age is 1/6 th of her father's age. Sneh's father's age will be twice of Vimal's age after 10 years. If Vimal's eighth birthday was celebrated two years before, then what is Sneh's present age?
	A.  10 years
	B.  25 years
	C.  35 years
	D.  None of these

Solution

Vimal's age after 10 years = (8+2+10)years = 20 years. Sneh's father age after 10 years = 40 years Sneh's father Present age = 30 years Therefore Sneh's age = (1/6 x 30)years = 5 years.

9.	A person's present age is two-fifth of the age of his mother. After 8 years, he will be one-half of the age of his mother. How old is the mother at present?
	A.  32 years
	B.  36 years
	C.  40 years
	D.  48 years

Solution

Let the mother's present age be x years.Then, the person's present age = (2/5 x) years. Therefore =[2/5x+8] = 1/2(x+8) = 2(2x+40) =5(x+8) = 40 years.
