    'Michael' will be 70 years. Ten years ago, John was 8 years younger than Michael. What will be Michael's age six years from now?
    A 20 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 41 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 33 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 25 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the present ages of 'John' and 'Michael' be 'p' and 'q' years respectively.

    So, p + 4 + q + 4 = 70

    Or, p + q = 62 --------- (I)

    And, p - 10 = q - 10 - 8

    Or, 'p' = q - 8 ---------- (II)

    From equation I and II,

    We get, q - 8 + q = 62

    Or, 2q = 70

    Or, 'q' = 35

    Therefore, required age of 'Michael' = 35 + 6 = 41 years
