📖 Frequently asked questions about age calculation
How does the calculator handle leap years?
If you were born on February 29, we treat non-leap years as having February 28 for day-difference logic, meaning age in days remains true to calendar conventions. The final output accurately reflects the exact duration.
Can I calculate age at a specific past or future date?
Yes — simply change the “As of date” field to any date. For example, you can see how old you were on your wedding day or estimate age at retirement.
What is the difference between chronological age and biological age?
Chronological age is the exact time since birth (our tool). Biological age depends on lifestyle and health markers — but chronological age is the standard for legal and official purposes.
Why does the total days count matter?
Total days can be fun (e.g., “I've lived over 12,000 days!”) and is also used in scientific studies or longevity research.
💡 Fun facts about age & time
- The oldest verified human lived 122 years and 164 days.

Mathematical Problems on Ages
Master age-related word problems with formulas, solved examples, and interactive practice. Perfect for competitive exams (SSC, Banking, GRE) and school math.
📐 Key Formulas & Theory
Basic Approach:
• Let present age = x (or use variables for multiple persons).
• “n years ago” → subtract n, “after m years” → add m.
• Ratios and linear equations are common.
• For problems with sum/difference, set up equations accordingly.
Common Patterns:
1. If A is k times as old as B, then A = k × B.
2. Age difference between two persons remains constant over time.
3. For “x years ago” or “after y years”, adjust both ages linearly.
Pro Tip: Always define variables for present ages, then translate “n years ago” or “after m years” into algebraic expressions. The difference in ages remains constant - a powerful shortcut!
🔍 Solved Examples (Step-by-Step)
Example 1
A mother is three times as old as her daughter. In 15 years, the mother will be twice as old as her daughter. Find their present ages.
Let daughter's present age = x years.
Mother's present age = 3x years.
After 15 years, daughter's age = x + 15.
After 15 years, mother's age = 3x + 15.
According to the problem: 3x + 15 = 2(x + 15).
3x + 15 = 2x + 30.
3x - 2x = 30 - 15.
x = 15.
Daughter's present age = 15 years.
Mother's present age = 3 * 15 = 45 years.
Example 2
The sum of the ages of a father and his son is 60 years. Six years ago, the father's age was five times the son's age. Find their current ages.
Let son's present age = x years.
Father's present age = 60 - x years.
Six years ago, son's age = x - 6.
Six years ago, father's age = (60 - x) - 6 = 54 - x.
According to the problem: 54 - x = 5(x - 6).
54 - x = 5x - 30.
54 + 30 = 5x + x.
84 = 6x.
x = 14.
Son's present age = 14 years.
Father's present age = 60 - 14 = 46 years.
Example 3
A man's age is 3 times his son's age. Ten years ago, the man's age was 5 times his son's age. What are their current ages?
Let son's present age = x years.
Man's present age = 3x years.
Ten years ago, son's age = x - 10.
Ten years ago, man's age = 3x - 10.
According to the problem: 3x - 10 = 5(x - 10).
3x - 10 = 5x - 50.
50 - 10 = 5x - 3x.
40 = 2x.
x = 20.
Son's present age = 20 years.
Man's present age = 3 * 20 = 60 years.
Example 4
The ratio of the ages of A and B is 3:4. After 5 years, the ratio of their ages will be 4:5. Find their present ages.
Let A's present age = 3x years.
Let B's present age = 4x years.
After 5 years, A's age = 3x + 5.
After 5 years, B's age = 4x + 5.
According to the problem: (3x + 5) / (4x + 5) = 4 / 5.
5(3x + 5) = 4(4x + 5).
15x + 25 = 16x + 20.
25 - 20 = 16x - 15x.
x = 5.
A's present age = 3 * 5 = 15 years.
B's present age = 4 * 5 = 20 years.
Example 5
The sum of the ages of 5 children born at intervals of 3 years each is 50 years. What is the age of the youngest child?
Let the age of the youngest child = x years.
The ages of the 5 children are x, x + 3, x + 6, x + 9, and x + 12.
Their sum is: x + (x + 3) + (x + 6) + (x + 9) + (x + 12) = 50.
5x + 30 = 50.
5x = 50 - 30.
5x = 20.
x = 4.
The age of the youngest child is 4 years.
Example 6
The present age of a father is 42 years and that of his son is 14 years. In how many years will the father be twice as old as his son?
Let x be the number of years after which the father will be twice as old as his son.
Father's age after x years = 42 + x.
Son's age after x years = 14 + x.
According to the problem: 42 + x = 2(14 + x).
42 + x = 28 + 2x.
42 - 28 = 2x - x.
x = 14.
After 14 years, the father will be twice as old as his son.
Example 7
The product of Rohan's age (in years) 5 years ago and his age 8 years later is 30. Find his present age.
Let Rohan's present age = x years.
Rohan's age 5 years ago = x - 5.
Rohan's age 8 years later = x + 8.
According to the problem: (x - 5)(x + 8) = 30.
x^2 + 8x - 5x - 40 = 30.
x^2 + 3x - 40 - 30 = 0.
x^2 + 3x - 70 = 0.
We can factor this quadratic equation: (x + 10)(x - 7) = 0.
So, x = -10 or x = 7.
Since age cannot be negative, Rohan's present age is 7 years.
Example 8
A person's age is twice the age of his wife. Ten years later, his age will be one and a half times the age of his wife. What is the current age of the wife?
Let wife's present age = x years.
Husband's present age = 2x years.
After 10 years, wife's age = x + 10.
After 10 years, husband's age = 2x + 10.
According to the problem: 2x + 10 = 1.5(x + 10).
2x + 10 = (3/2)(x + 10).
2(2x + 10) = 3(x + 10).
4x + 20 = 3x + 30.
4x - 3x = 30 - 20.
x = 10.
The current age of the wife is 10 years.
Example 9
The age of a man is 24 years more than his son's age. In two years, his age will be twice the age of his son. What is the present age of his son?
Let son's present age = x years.
Man's present age = x + 24 years.
After two years, son's age = x + 2.
After two years, man's age = (x + 24) + 2 = x + 26.
According to the problem: x + 26 = 2(x + 2).
x + 26 = 2x + 4.
26 - 4 = 2x - x.
x = 22.
The present age of his son is 22 years.
Example 10
The average age of a class of 30 students and their teacher is 15 years. If the teacher's age is excluded, the average age of the students becomes 14 years. What is the teacher's age?
Total number of students and teacher = 30 + 1 = 31.
Total sum of ages of students and teacher = 31 * 15 = 465 years.
Total number of students = 30.
Total sum of ages of students (excluding teacher) = 30 * 14 = 420 years.
Teacher's age = (Sum of ages of students and teacher) - (Sum of ages of students).
Teacher's age = 465 - 420 = 45 years.
Example 11
The ratio of the ages of two brothers is 1:2. Five years ago, the ratio was 1:3. What will be the ratio of their ages after 5 years?
Let the present ages of the two brothers be x and 2x years.
Five years ago, their ages were x - 5 and 2x - 5.
According to the problem: (x - 5) / (2x - 5) = 1 / 3.
3(x - 5) = 1(2x - 5).
3x - 15 = 2x - 5.
3x - 2x = 15 - 5.
x = 10.
Present ages are 10 years and 2 * 10 = 20 years.
After 5 years, their ages will be 10 + 5 = 15 years and 20 + 5 = 25 years.
The ratio of their ages after 5 years will be 15:25, which simplifies to 3:5.
Example 12
A's age is 1/6th of B's age. B's age will be twice of C's age after 10 years. If C's current age is 18 years, find A's current age.
C's current age = 18 years.
After 10 years, C's age = 18 + 10 = 28 years.
After 10 years, B's age will be twice C's age, so B's age = 2 * 28 = 56 years.
B's current age = 56 - 10 = 46 years.
A's current age is 1/6th of B's current age.
A's current age = (1/6) * 46 = 46/6 = 23/3 = 7 and 2/3 years (approximately 7 years and 8 months).
Example 13
The sum of the ages of a father and his son is 45 years. Five years ago, the product of their ages was 4 times the father's age at that time. Find their present ages.
Let son's present age = x years.
Father's present age = 45 - x years.
Five years ago, son's age = x - 5.
Five years ago, father's age = (45 - x) - 5 = 40 - x.
According to the problem: (x - 5)(40 - x) = 4(40 - x).
Since (40 - x) cannot be zero (father cannot be 40 and 5 years younger than himself in the same instant, and if x=40, son's age would be 5, making father 40, which implies he's 0 five years ago which is not possible).
So we can divide both sides by (40 - x):
x - 5 = 4.
x = 9.
Son's present age = 9 years.
Father's present age = 45 - 9 = 36 years.
Example 14
The age of a grand-mother is 10 times the age of her grand-daughter. She is also 54 years older than her. Find their current ages.
Let grand-daughter's present age = x years.
Grand-mother's present age = 10x years.
Also, grand-mother is 54 years older than her grand-daughter.
So, 10x = x + 54.
10x - x = 54.
9x = 54.
x = 6.
Grand-daughter's present age = 6 years.
Grand-mother's present age = 10 * 6 = 60 years.
Example 15
The sum of the ages of a father and his son is 100 years. If 5 years ago, the father's age was thrice that of the son's age, then find their ages.
Let son's present age = x years.
Father's present age = 100 - x years.
Five years ago, son's age = x - 5.
Five years ago, father's age = (100 - x) - 5 = 95 - x.
According to the problem: 95 - x = 3(x - 5).
95 - x = 3x - 15.
95 + 15 = 3x + x.
110 = 4x.
x = 110 / 4 = 55 / 2 = 27.5.
Son's present age = 27.5 years.
Father's present age = 100 - 27.5 = 72.5 years.
Example 16
A mother is 20 years older than her daughter. In 5 years, the mother's age will be 3 times the daughter's age. What is the daughter's current age?
Let daughter's present age = x years.
Mother's present age = x + 20 years.
In 5 years, daughter's age = x + 5.
In 5 years, mother's age = (x + 20) + 5 = x + 25.
According to the problem: x + 25 = 3(x + 5).
x + 25 = 3x + 15.
25 - 15 = 3x - x.
10 = 2x.
x = 5.
The daughter's current age is 5 years.
Example 17
A father is currently 3 times as old as his son. If the son's age was 10 years less, the father's age would be 5 times the son's age. Find their present ages.
Let son's present age = x years.
Father's present age = 3x years.
If son's age was 10 years less, son's age = x - 10.
At that time, father's age would be 3x.
According to the problem: 3x = 5(x - 10).
3x = 5x - 50.
50 = 5x - 3x.
50 = 2x.
x = 25.
Son's present age = 25 years.
Father's present age = 3 * 25 = 75 years.
Example 18
The ages of two persons P and Q are in the ratio 5:7. Eighteen years ago, their ages were in the ratio 8:13. Find their present ages.
Let P's present age = 5x years.
Let Q's present age = 7x years.
Eighteen years ago, P's age = 5x - 18.
Eighteen years ago, Q's age = 7x - 18.
According to the problem: (5x - 18) / (7x - 18) = 8 / 13.
13(5x - 18) = 8(7x - 18).
65x - 234 = 56x - 144.
65x - 56x = 234 - 144.
9x = 90.
x = 10.
P's present age = 5 * 10 = 50 years.
Q's present age = 7 * 10 = 70 years.
Example 19
The age of a man is 4 times the age of his daughter. Five years ago, the man's age was 9 times the age of his daughter. Find the man's current age.
Let daughter's present age = x years.
Man's present age = 4x years.
Five years ago, daughter's age = x - 5.
Five years ago, man's age = 4x - 5.
According to the problem: 4x - 5 = 9(x - 5).
4x - 5 = 9x - 45.
45 - 5 = 9x - 4x.
40 = 5x.
x = 8.
Daughter's present age = 8 years.
Man's current age = 4 * 8 = 32 years.
Example 20
The average age of 15 students is 10 years. If the age of the teacher is included, the average age increases by 1 year. What is the teacher's age?
Total sum of ages of 15 students = 15 * 10 = 150 years.
When the teacher's age is included, total number of people = 15 + 1 = 16.
New average age = 10 + 1 = 11 years.
New total sum of ages (students + teacher) = 16 * 11 = 176 years.
Teacher's age = (New total sum) - (Old total sum of students).
Teacher's age = 176 - 150 = 26 years.
Example 21
The sum of the ages of A and B is 36 years. If A is 8 years older than B, find their present ages.
Let B's present age = x years.
A's present age = x + 8 years.
The sum of their ages is 36:
x + (x + 8) = 36.
2x + 8 = 36.
2x = 36 - 8.
2x = 28.
x = 14.
B's present age = 14 years.
A's present age = 14 + 8 = 22 years.
Example 22
Ten years ago, P was half of Q's age. If the ratio of their present ages is 3:4, find the sum of their present ages.
Let P's present age = 3x years.
Let Q's present age = 4x years.
Ten years ago, P's age = 3x - 10.
Ten years ago, Q's age = 4x - 10.
According to the problem: 3x - 10 = (1/2)(4x - 10).
2(3x - 10) = 4x - 10.
6x - 20 = 4x - 10.
6x - 4x = 20 - 10.
2x = 10.
x = 5.
P's present age = 3 * 5 = 15 years.
Q's present age = 4 * 5 = 20 years.
The sum of their present ages = 15 + 20 = 35 years.
Example 23
The age of a father is 5 times that of his son. After 4 years, his age will be 3 times that of his son. Find the present ages of the father and son.
Let son's present age = x years.
Father's present age = 5x years.
After 4 years, son's age = x + 4.
After 4 years, father's age = 5x + 4.
According to the problem: 5x + 4 = 3(x + 4).
5x + 4 = 3x + 12.
5x - 3x = 12 - 4.
2x = 8.
x = 4.
Son's present age = 4 years.
Father's present age = 5 * 4 = 20 years.
Example 24
In a family, the average age of a father and a mother is 35 years. The average age of the father, mother, and their only son is 27 years. What is the age of the son?
Sum of ages of father and mother = 2 * 35 = 70 years.
Sum of ages of father, mother, and son = 3 * 27 = 81 years.
Son's age = (Sum of ages of father, mother, and son) - (Sum of ages of father and mother).
Son's age = 81 - 70 = 11 years.
Example 25
The age of Sangeeta is 10 times her son's age. Sangeeta's mother is twice as old as Sangeeta. The sum of their ages is 130 years. How old is Sangeeta's son?
Let son's age = x years.
Sangeeta's age = 10x years.
Sangeeta's mother's age = 2 * (Sangeeta's age) = 2 * 10x = 20x years.
Sum of their ages = x + 10x + 20x = 130.
31x = 130.
x = 130 / 31.
Son's age = 130/31 years (approximately 4.19 years).
Example 26
The ratio of the ages of A and B is 2:5. After 10 years, the ratio of their ages will be 1:2. Find the difference in their present ages.
Let A's present age = 2x years.
Let B's present age = 5x years.
After 10 years, A's age = 2x + 10.
After 10 years, B's age = 5x + 10.
According to the problem: (2x + 10) / (5x + 10) = 1 / 2.
2(2x + 10) = 1(5x + 10).
4x + 20 = 5x + 10.
20 - 10 = 5x - 4x.
x = 10.
A's present age = 2 * 10 = 20 years.
B's present age = 5 * 10 = 50 years.
Difference in their present ages = 50 - 20 = 30 years.
Example 27
P is 3 years younger than Q. The ratio of their ages 5 years ago was 1:2. Find their present ages.
Let Q's present age = x years.
P's present age = x - 3 years.
Five years ago, Q's age = x - 5.
Five years ago, P's age = (x - 3) - 5 = x - 8.
According to the problem: (x - 8) / (x - 5) = 1 / 2.
2(x - 8) = 1(x - 5).
2x - 16 = x - 5.
2x - x = 16 - 5.
x = 11.
Q's present age = 11 years.
P's present age = 11 - 3 = 8 years.
Example 28
The sum of the ages of three persons is 90 years. Ten years ago, the ratio of their ages was 1:2:3. Find their present ages.
Let their ages 10 years ago be x, 2x, and 3x years.
The sum of their ages 10 years ago = x + 2x + 3x = 6x.
Their present ages are x + 10, 2x + 10, and 3x + 10.
The sum of their present ages is (x + 10) + (2x + 10) + (3x + 10) = 6x + 30.
According to the problem: 6x + 30 = 90.
6x = 90 - 30.
6x = 60.
x = 10.
Their present ages are:
First person: x + 10 = 10 + 10 = 20 years.
Second person: 2x + 10 = 2(10) + 10 = 20 + 10 = 30 years.
Third person: 3x + 10 = 3(10) + 10 = 30 + 10 = 40 years.
Example 29
A man is 35 years old and his son is 7 years old. In how many years will the man's age be 3 times his son's age?
Let x be the number of years from now.
Man's age after x years = 35 + x.
Son's age after x years = 7 + x.
According to the problem: 35 + x = 3(7 + x).
35 + x = 21 + 3x.
35 - 21 = 3x - x.
14 = 2x.
x = 7.
In 7 years, the man's age will be 3 times his son's age.
