    A’s age is the seventh part of his father’s

    age. After 10 years, the age of A’s father will be twice the age of B. If B’s 5th birthday is celebrated 4 years ago, then what is the current age of A?
    A 7 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 5 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 6 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 4 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let A’s age be x years and father’s age be 7x years. Present age of B = 5 + 4 = 9 years After 10 years, => 7x + 10 = 2(9 + 10) => 7x = 38 – 10 => x = 28/7 = 4 years
