Apt Age Problems in Aptitude

Age problems require setting up linear equations with variables for present age.

Key phrases: "n years ago" means subtract n. "n years hence/later" means add n.

If A's age is x, then 5 years ago it was x-5, and 5 years later it will be x+5.

Ratio of ages: If A:B = 2:3 now, and after 5 years A:B = 3:4, set up equations and solve.
