- Question
- Hari is twice as old as Johnny, who is three years older than Rahul. If Hari's age is five times Rahul's age, how old is Johnny?
Options- A. 2 years
- B. 4 years
- C. 5 years
- D. 8 years
- Correct Answer
- 5 years
ExplanationSuppose the age of Johnny is P years and that of Rahul is Q years.
According to question ,
Age of Hari = 2 × Age of Johnny = 2P
And age of Hari = 5 × Age of Rahul = 5Q
? 2P = 5Q
? 2P ? 5Q = 0 ........(i)
Again age of Johnny = Age of Rahul + 3 years
? P = 3 + Q
? P ? Q = 3........ (ii)
On solving equations (i) and (ii), we get
Q = 2
? Age of Johnny = 3 + Q = 3 + 2 = 5 years
Hence , the age of Johnny is 5 years . - 1. If ROSE is coded as 6821, CHAIR is coded as 73456 and PREACH is coded as 961473, what will be the code for SEARCH ?
