- Question
A is three times as old as B. C was twice-as old as A four years ago. In four years' time, A will be 31. What are the present ages of B and C ?
Options- A. 45, 10
- B. 10, 50
- C. 9, 50
- D. 50, 15
- Correct Answer
- 9, 50
ExplanationLet the age of A = A, B = B and C = C
From given
A = 3B
4 years ago,
C-4 = 2(A-4);
After 4 years
A + 4 = 31;
A = 27;
sub in above B, we get B = 9
C = 2(27 - 4) + 4 = 46 + 4 = 50Hence B = 9yrs and C = 50yrs.

Correct Answer: 137
Explanation:
Let the two consecutive numbers are N and N+2
According to the question
N (N + 2) = 19043
? N2 + 2N - 19043 = 0
? N2 + 139N - 137N - 19043= 0
? N( N + 139) - 137 ( N - 137 ) = 0
? N( N + 139) ( N - 137) = 0
? N = 137 and N = - 139
? N = 137
Correct Answer: a tan ? cosec A 2
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 10 hours
Explanation:
A will reach at starting point in 5 * 2 / 5 = 2 hours ;
B will reach at starting point in 5 / 3 hours ;
C will reach at starting point in 5 / 2 hours ;
Then, on the starting point all three will meet after the L.C.M. of 2, 5 / 3, 5 / 2, 10 / 1 = 10 hours.
Correct Answer: 31.68 km/hr.
Explanation:
Circumference = 2?r
= 2 x (22 / 7) x 70 cm
= 440 cm
Distance travelled in 10 revolutions = 440 x 10 cm
= 4400 cm
= 44 m
? Speed = distance / time
= 44 / 5 m/sec
= (44 / 5) x (18 / 5) km/hr
= 31.68 km/hr
Correct Answer: 120
Explanation:
Regarding all copies of the same book as one book, we have only 5 books. These 5 books can be arranged in 5! ways. But all copies of the same book being identical can be arranged in only one way.
? Required number = 5! x 1! x 1! x 1! x 1! = 120
Correct Answer: 20/3
Explanation:
We known that,
LCM of fractions = (LCM of numerators) / (HCF of denominators)
? Required LCM = (LCM of 1, 2, 5, and 4) / (HCF of 3, 9, 6 and 27)
? = 20/3
Correct Answer: 440 m
Explanation:
The speed of A and B are in the ratio 11 : 8.
Let, speeds be 11s and 8s (in m/sec).
Let, race be of P meter.
Then, time taken by A to run P meter is same as that of B to run (P - 120) meter.
? P / 11 = (P - 120) / 8
? P / 11 = (P - 120 / 8
? 8P = 11 x (P - 120 )
? 8P = 11P - 120 x 11
? 11P - 8P = 120 x 11
? 3P = 11 × 120
? P = 440.
Correct Answer: 10000
Explanation:
? = 124.35% of 8096
= (8096 x 124.35)/100 = 1006737.6/100
= 10067.376 = 10000
Correct Answer: 0.6990
Explanation:
log105 = log10(10/2)
= log1010 - log102
= 1-0.3010
= 0.6990
Correct Answer: 5th Friday
Explanation:
Friday will fall on 3, 10, 17, 24, 31
So, it will be 5th Friday on 31 st
