Question

Let Zara be my twin sister. I was born 5 years before 2007 & 5 years after 1997.What is her present age? What will be my age after20 years?

Answer 1

Hi Avoz,

This is a trickly funny question. :)

First, twins are born same year, so you and Zara are of same age.
Second, born 5 years before 2007
2007-5 = 2002.
It is same as being born after 1997
1997+5 = 2002

So both of you were born in the year 2002.

Now, let the current year be x

Your present age = Zara's present age
=  x-2002

Your age after 20 years will be
x - 2002 +20
= x-1982

NOTE: Only if the current year is mentioned in the problem, we can find the answers in numbers.

Hope it helped you.
Please let me know if any further doubt.
Cheers !!!
