Question:

A's age is the 5th part of his father's age.  After 15 years the age of A's father will be twice the age of B.  If B's 15th birthday is celebrated 25 years ago, then what is the present age of A?

Options:

18 years

20 years

15 years 

13 years

Correct Answer:

13 years

Explanation:

B's present age = 15 + 25 = 40 years

A's father age 15 years after = 40 × 2 = 80 years

A's father present age = 80 - 15 = 65 years

A's age = 65 × \(\frac{1}{5}\) = 13 years
