Questions
31 questions are published. The book prints 34 items; 3 are dropped because no unique correct option exists as printed (one asks for Ali but keys Imran's age, one gives Imran as 14 years with no such option, one asks for the son's age five years back but keys his present age), rather than guessed.
Age ratios between two or more people, present ages from past and future multiples, father-son and mother-child ages, totals and differences of ages, ages from products, years since marriage, youngest-child and age-riddle problems.
Yes. Every published answer was solved from scratch and checked against the book's printed Answer Key (p. 750); the key agrees on 30 of the 31 published items, and the one disagreement (a father's present age of 40, keyed as his age four years ago, 36) is corrected to the verified answer.
It is drawn from an FPSC model-paper book, but age-ratio and age-word problems appear in the same form in PPSC, NTS, PTS, CSS MPT and all Pakistan one-paper exams, so it serves aspirants of every body.
