Q1. Ten years ago, the age of Aftab was one-third the age of Kashif at that time. The present age of Kashif is 12 years more than the present age of Aftab. Find the present age of Aftab?
Answer: 16 years
Explanation: Let Aftab's current age = A and Kashif's = A+12. Ten years ago: A−10 = (A+2)/3, giving 3A−30 = A+2 → A = 16 years.
