  1. Joan’s age is 42 years and Kelvin’s age is 26 years. How many years ago was Kelvin’s age half of Joan’s age?
    1. 6 Years
    2. 4 Years
    3. 10 Years
    4. 8 Years
Correct Option: C

Let before P years , Kelvin’s age =
1
(John’s age)
2

⇒ (26 – P) =
1
(42 – P)
2

⇒ 52 – 2P = (42 – P)
⇒ 52 – 2P = (42 – P)
⇒ P = 52 – 42 = 10 years
Hence, 10 years ago was Kelvin’s age half of Joan’s age .
