Correct Answer: 20
Explanation:
Clearly, From 1 to 100, there are ten numbers with 3 as the unit's digit - 3, 13, 23, 33, 43, 53, 63, 73, 83, 93 and ten numbers with 3 as the ten's digit - 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39.
So, required number = 10 + 10 = 20.
Correct Answer: Rs. 13, Rs. 17
Explanation:
Let Rs. x be the fare of city B from city A and Rs. y be the fare of city C from city A.
Then, 2x + 3y = 77 ...(i) and
3x + 2y = 73 ...(ii)
Multiplying (i) by 3 and (ii) by 2 and subtracting, we get: 5y = 85 or y = 17.
Putting y = 17 in (i), we get: x = 13.
Correct Answer: 120 rolls
Explanation:
Number of cuts made to cut a roll into 10 pieces = 9.
Therefore, Required number of rolls = (45 x 24)/9 = 120.
Correct Answer: 25 years
Explanation:
Let Varun's age today = x years.
Then, Varun's age after 1 year = (x + 1) years.
Therefore x + 1 = 2 (x - 12) => x + 1 = 2x - 24 => x = 25.
Correct Answer: 23 years
Explanation:
Ayush's present age = 10 years.
His mother's present age = (10 + 20) years = 30 years.
Ayush's father's present age = (30 + 5) years = 35 years.
Ayush's father's age at the time of Ayush's birth = (35 - 10) years = 25 years.
Therefore Ayush's father's age at the time of marriage = (25 - 2) years = 23 years.
