Age of Firoz is 2/7th of the age of his mother. Age of Firoz’s mother will be twice the age of Shaan after 5 years. If Shaan’s 18th birthday will be celebrated after three years, then what is Firoz’s present age? Correct Answer 10 years

Given:

Shaan’s 18th birthday will be celebrated after three years.

Age of Firoz is 2/7th of the age of his mother.

Age of Firoz’s mother will be twice the age of Shaan after 5 years.

Calculation:

∴ Present age of Shaan = 18 – 3 = 15 years

Since Age of Firoz’s mother will be twice the age of Shaan age after 5 years;

∴ Present age of Firoz’s mother = (15 + 5) × 2 – 5 = 35 years

∴ Present age of Firoz = 35 × 2/7 = 10 years
