- Question
Sum of the ages of Rajesh, Suresh, Mahesh and Dinesh is 76 years. 7 years hence, their age ratio is 7:6:5:8. Find Mahesh?s present age ?
Options- A. 17 years
- B. 13 years
- C. 14 years
- D. 16 years
- Correct Answer
- 13 years
ExplanationGiven R + S + M + D = 76
=> R+7 : S+7 : M+7 : D+7 = 7:6:5:8
=> Let the ratio = x
=> M+7 = 5x
=> M = 5x-7
=> R = 7x-7
=> S = 6x-7
=> D = 8x-7
=> R + S + M + D = 76
=> 7x-7 + 6x-7 + 5x-7 + 8x-7 = 76
=> 26x - 28 = 76
=> 26x = 104
=> x = 4
=> Mahesh's present age = 5x-7 = 20 - 7 = 13 years.

Correct Answer: 49 rounds
Explanation:
Given in the question,
If radius is 14 cm then rope can make 70 rounds.
If radius is 1 cm then rope can make 70 x 14 rounds.
If radius is 20 cm then rope can make 70 x 14 / 20 rounds.
If radius is 20 cm then rope can make 7 x 7 rounds.
If radius is 20 cm then rope can make 49 rounds.

Correct Answer: 40
Explanation:
According to question,
40 cows eat 40 bags of husk in 40 days.
1 cows eat 40 bags of husk in 40 x 40 days.
1 cows eat 1 bags of husk in 40 x 40 / 40 days.
1 cows eat 1 bags of husk in 40 days.
Correct Answer: 60 km/h
Explanation:
Let speed in the return journey = V
? Speed in onward journey = (125/100) x V = 5V/4 km/h
Average speed = (2x 5V/4 x V) / (5V/4 + V) = 10V/9 km/h
? 1600 x (9/10V) = 30 [? halts for 2 h ]
? V = 1600 x 9/30 x 10 = 48 km/h
? Speed in onward journey = 5V/4 = 5/4 x 48 = 60 km/h
Correct Answer: ? 4000
Explanation:
Here, CI - SI = 10, R = 5%, n = 2 yr and P = ?
According to the formula,
CI - SI = PR2/1002
? 10 = (P x 25)/10000
? P = (400 x 10) = ? 4000
Correct Answer: 8 km/hr
Explanation:
| Speed in still water = | 1 | (11 + 5) kmph = 8 kmph. |
| 2 |
Correct Answer: ? 5000
Explanation:
Let the principal be ? P.
Amount after first year = (P x 104)/100 and
amount after second year P x (104/100) x (4/100)
According to the question.
(P x 104 x 4)/(100 x 100) = 208
? P = ? 5000
Correct Answer: 25/??2 cm
Explanation:
Circumference of the circle = 2?r = 25
? r = 25 / (2?)
According to the formula,
Side of inscribed square = r?2
= 25 / (2?r x ?2)
= 25 / (??2 ) cm
Correct Answer: 15
Explanation:
Then, 3x = 2(x + 4) + 3 ⟺ x = 11.
∴ Third integer = x + 4 = 15.
Correct Answer: 81 cm
Explanation:
Percentage growth = (1/8) x 100 % = 12.5%
Height after 2 yr = 64 x (1+ 12.5/100)2
= 64 x (9/8) x (9/8) = 81 cm
