Rajesh got married 7 years ago. His present age is 8/7 times of his age at the time of marriage. At the time of his marriage, his brother was 5 years younger to him. What will be the age of his brother after 10 years? Correct Answer 61 years

GIVEN :

Rajesh’s present age is 8/7 times of his age at the time of marriage.

Rajesh got married 7 years ago.

 

ASSUMPTION :

Let the present age of Rajesh be x.

 

CALCULATION :

x = (8/7) × (x – 7)

⇒ x = 56 years

So at the time of marriage his brother’s age = (x – 7) – 5 = 44 years

Present age of his brother = 44 + 7 = 51 years

∴ Age of his brother after 10 years = 61 years.
