  1. 20 years ago, Antony’s age was 1/2 of what his age now is. What is his age now?
    1. 20 years
    2. 40 years
    3. 35 years
    4. 30 years
Correct Option: B

Suppose the present age of Antony is P years.

20 years ago his age was
P
years
2
According to question ,
the present age of Antony - 20 years =
the present age of Antony
2

⇒ P - 20 =
P
2

⇒ 2P – 40 = P
⇒ 2P – P = 40
∴ P = 40 years
Hence , the present age of Antony is 40 years.
