- Question
5 years ago Sushma was 5 times as old as her Son. 5 years hence her age will be 8 less than three times the corresponding age of her Son. Find their ages ?
Options- A. 24 and 13 years
- B. 48 and 24 years
- C. 35 and 11 years
- D. 33 and 15 years
- Correct Answer
- 35 and 11 years
ExplanationLet the age of sushma be x and
the age of her son is y
Then five years before x-5=5(y-5) ...(1)
Five years hence x+5 = 3(y+5)-8 .....(2)By soving (1) & (2), we get
5y - 15 = 3y + 7
y = 11 => x = 35Therefore, the age of Sushma = 35 and her son = 11.

Correct Answer: 12
Explanation:
According to question , we have
?( x - 0 )2 + ( 0 + 5 )2 = 13
? x2 + 25 = 169
? x2 = 169 - 25 = 144
? x = ?144 = 12
Correct Answer: 1
Explanation:
Exp. =log3228 + log24337 - log361296
= log25 28 + log35 37 - log36 362
= (8/5)log22 + (7/5)log33 - 2log3636
= 8/5 + 7/5 - 2 = 1
Correct Answer: 90°
Explanation:
In a quadrilateral ABCD,
Given :- ?B = 90°
AB2 + BC2 + CD2 = AC2 + CD2 = AD2 { ? In triangle ABC , AB2 + BC2 = AC2 }
So, in triangle ACD, angle opposite to AD = 90° ( by Converse of Pythagoras theorem)
? ?ACD = 90°
Correct Answer: 150
Explanation:
Let 31% of A = 46.5
? (31 x A)/100 = 46.5
? A = (46.5 x 100) / 31 = 150
Correct Answer: 16 days
Explanation:
(A + B)'s 1 day's work = 1/18
(B + C)'s 1 day's work = 1/24
(A + C)'s 1 day's work = 1/36
Adding 2 (A + B + C)'s 1 day's work = (1/18 + 1/24 + 1/36) = 1/8
? (A + B + C)'s day's work = 1/16
Hence, all working together can finish it in 16 days.
Correct Answer: ? 950
Explanation:
let the fixed charges = ? p for first 5 km
and the additional charges = ? q per km
according to the question
p + 5q = 350........... (1)
p + 20q = 800...........(2)
on subtracting Eq. 1 from Eq. 2 we get
15q = 450
q = 30
On putting the value of q in Eq. (1) we get
p = 200
? charge for a distance of 30 km = p + 25q
= 200 + 30 x 25 = ? 950
Correct Answer: ?1600
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 1
Explanation:
The given question is,
(70 ÷ 100)? + 3 = (0.49)4 x (0.343)4 ÷ (0.2401)4
As we know that
70 ÷ 100 = 0.7
0.49 = 0.7 2
0.343 = 0.7 3
0.2401 = 0.7 4
Put these value in given question , we will get
? (0.7)? + 3 = (0.72)4 x ( 0.73 )4 ÷ ( 0.74 )4
? (0.7) ? + 3 = 0.7 2 x 4 x 0.7 3 x 4 ÷ 0.7 4 x 4
? (0.7) ? + 3 = 0.7 8 x 0.7 12 ÷ 0.7 16
Apply the law of Fractional Exponents and Laws of Exponents
(am)(an) = am+n
am÷an=am-n
Or
am/an=am - n
we will get,
? (0.7)? + 3 = (0.7) 8 + 12 - 16
? (0.7)? + 3 = (0.7) 20 - 16
? (0.7)? + 3 = (0.7) 4
On comparing the exponents both sides, we get
? + 3 = 4
? ? = 4 - 3 = 1
Correct Answer: 600
Explanation:
Given in the question,
n(H ? E) = 1000, n(H) = 750, n(E) = 400
Use the below formula,
n(H ? E) = n(H) + n(E) ? n(H ? E)
We get 1000 = 750 + 400 ? n(H ? E)
? n(H ? E) = 1150 ? 1000 = 150.
Number of People who can speak Hindi only
= n(H ? E?) = n(H) ? n(H ? E)
= 750 ? 150 = 600.
Correct Answer: 72
Explanation:
Let Ram spends p minute on each Mathematics question.
According to the question.
50 x p + 100 x p/2 + 50 x p/2 = 3 x 60
p(50+ 50 + 25) = 180
? p = 180/125
? Required time = 50 x 180/125
? Required time = 2 x 180/5
? Required time = 2 x 36 = 72 min
Method 2
Let Ram spends a minute on each sciences and Gk questions.
According to the question,
50 x 2a + 150 x a = 3 x 60
100a + 150a = 180
250a = 180
a = 180/250
So total time spend on Mathematics question = 2a x 50 question
So total time spend on Mathematics question = 2 x 50 x 180/250 = 72 minutes
