  1. Today is Ketan’s birthday. One year from today he will be twice as old as he was 10 years ago. How old is Ketan today?
    1. 19 years
    2. 20 years
    3. 21 years
    4. 22 years
Correct Option: C

Suppose the present age of Ketan is P years.
According to question,
present age of Ketan + 1 year = 2 ( present age of Ketan - 10 years )
P + 1 = 2 (P – 10)
⇒ P + 1 = 2P – 20
⇒ 2P – P = 20 + 1
∴ P = 21 years
Therefore ,present age of Ketan is 21 years .
