1. Four years ago Sumon's age was half of what it will be in eight years. How old is Sumon?
- A. 8
- B. 8
- C. 8
- D. 8
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Let Sumon's age be S.
Four years ago, his age was (S - 4).
After eight years, his age will be (S + 8).
Then, S - 4 = (S + 8)/2
or, 2(S - 4) = S + 8
or, 2S - 8 = S + 8
or, 2S - S = 8 + 8
or, S = 16 years.
