- Question
- Ashu's mother was three times as old as Ashu 5 years ago. After 5 years she will be twice as old as Ashu. How old is Ashu today?
Options- A. 35 years
- B. 10 years
- C. 20 years
- D. 15 years
- Correct Answer
- 15 years
ExplanationSuppose the present ages of Ashu and her mother be P and Q years respectively.
According to question,
5 years ago , 3 × ( ages of Ashu - 5 ) = ages of Ashu's mother - 5
? 3 ( P - 5 ) = Q - 5
? 3P - 15 = Q - 5
? 3P - Q = 10 ... (i)
Again, After 5 years , 2 × ( ages of Ashu + 5 ) = ages of Ashu's mother + 5
? 2(P + 5) = Q + 5
? 2P + 10 = Q + 5
? 2P ? Q = - 5.... (ii)
From equations (i) and (ii) , we get
P = 15 years
Therefore, Ashu is 15 year old at present. - 1. If "A" denotes "added to", "C" denotes "divided by", "D" denotes "multiplied by" and "B" denotes "subtracted from", then 72 C 9 D 2 B 6 A 10 = ?

Correct Answer: 20
Correct Answer: 9334
Correct Answer: TUBOCZQC
Correct Answer: If neither conclusion I nor II follows.
Explanation:
A = M >P, N > R, A > T
I. T = P (false) There is no relation between T and P.
For conclusion II -
A = M >P, N > R
II. R < A (false) - there is no relation between R and A.
Hence, neither conclusion I nor II follows.
Correct Answer: If only conclusion II follow.
Explanation:
X = M < A < S = T < R
Conclusions:
For conclusion I - M < A < S = T - There is no relation between M and T.
I. M = T (false)
For conclusion II -
A < S = T < R
II. R > A (True) - R is greater than A.
Hence, only conclusion II follow.
Correct Answer: If only conclusion I follow.
Explanation:
Y > A < N, Y = B <P
P > B = Y > A < N
For conclusion I -
P > B = Y > A
P > Y > A
I. P > A (True) P is greater than A is true.
For conclusion II -
B = Y > A < N
II. N > B (false) There is no relation between N and B.
Hence, only conclusion I follow.
