  1. Jais and his father has an age difference of 35 years now. After 5 years, the sum of their age is 125. What will be the age of Jais and his father after 12 years from now?
    1. 51 and 85
    2. 52 and 87
    3. 40 and 75
    4. 45 and 70
Correct Option: B

Suppose the age of Jais = P years
The age of his father - The age of Jais = 35 years
Therefore, his father’s age = P + 35 years
According to question ,
After 5 years,the sum of their age is 125.
⇒ (P + 5) + (P + 35 + 5) = 135
⇒ 2P + 45 = 135
⇒ 2P = 135 – 45

∴ P =
90
= 45
2

Age of Jais after 12 years = P + 12 = 40 + 12 = 52 years
Age of his father after 12 years = 40 + 35 + 12 = 87 years
