Problems on ages plays an important role and are often asked in quant section of exams like banking, ssc, upsc etc.
In general when you ask someone’s age, you may probably get different answer including true age, false age and some standard age for example- Rahul Gandhi is of 40 from last few years : ).
And may be of them answer you their age indirectly by relating their age with his family member or with friends by asking you for guess of his/him age.problems on ages shortcut
In generally we ignore such people and don’t dare to ask again such questions. But in the exam we don’t have choice. We will have to find out the exact age.
So In this article I will teach you how to solve questions based on ages with example so you people get the idea or concept.

So first let’s start with some basic concepts for solving problems on age–
Basic Concept for problems on ages :
#1. If the present age of ‘A’ is ‘x’ years, then
‘n’ years ago => Age of ‘A’ was (x-n) years.
‘n’ years after => Age of ‘A’ will be (x+n) years.
#2. In general, at the starting of the solution we have to assume the present age of one person. It is better to assume the present age = ‘x’ years.
#3. So I advise you to assume the age of the younger person = ‘x’ years.
#4. If the present age ‘A’ and ‘B’ are ‘x’ and ‘y’ years respectively, then
‘n’ years ago => Age of ‘A’ and ‘B’ were (x-n) and (y-n) years respectively.
‘n’ years after => Age of ‘A’ and ‘B’ will be (x+n) and (y+n) years respectively.
#5. The age difference between you and your friend is let’s suppose 6 years. And after 10 or 15 years this will be same, because clock will run equally for both of you. I hope you are getting what I am trying to say. : )
