- Question
Ten years ago, Karan was thrice as old as Shiva was but 10 years hence, he will be only twice as old. Find Shiva?s present age ?
Options- A. 70 years
- B. 30 years
- C. 60 years
- D. 40 years
- Correct Answer
- 30 years
ExplanationLet Karan?s present age be x years and Shiva?s present age be y years.
Then, according to the first condition,
x - 10 = 3(y - 10) or x - 3y = - 20 ..(1)
Now, Karan?s age after 10 years = (x + 10) years
Shiva?s age after 10 years = (y + 10)
(x + 10) = 2 (y + 10) or x - 2y = 10 ..(2)
Solving (1) and (2), we get x = 70 and y = 30
Karan?s age = 70 years and Shiva?s age = 30 years. - 1. X, Y are the mid-points of opposite sides AB and DC of a parallelogram ABCD. AY and DX are joined intersecting in P; CX and BY are joined intersecting in Q. Then PXQY is a :

Correct Answer: 25 points
Explanation:
In a game of 250 points, A scores 250 then B scores 200 points and C scores 180.
? B scores 250 points while C scores 180 x 250 / 200 = 225 points
Hence, in a game of 250 points B can give C (250 ? 225) = 25 points

prime numbers between 0 and 50 are 2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 29 31 37 41 43 and 47
? required number of prime number is 15
Correct Answer: 19
Explanation:
By checking options
91-19=72
Or
Let the number be xy
So 10x + y = 10 ..... (i)
When the number is reversed the new number is yx
So (10y + 10 ) - ( 10x +y ) = 72 ....(ii)
From Eqs. (i) & (ii)
x = 1 and y =9
?number = 19
