- Question
Two bus tickets from city A to B and three tickets from city A to C cost Rs. 77 but three tickets from city A to B and two tickets from city A to C cost Rs. 73. What are the fares for cities B and C from A ?
Options- A. Rs. 4, Rs. 23
- B. Rs. 13, Rs. 17
- C. Rs. 15, Rs. 14
- D. Rs. 17, Rs. 13
- Correct Answer
- Rs. 13, Rs. 17
ExplanationLet 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.

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.

Exercise associated with normal daily activities effectively ...........neutralizes and dissipates the free radicals that are ...........produced as a result of routine bodily processes is true for the above stated arguments
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.
Correct Answer: None of these
Explanation:
Let R, G and B represent the number of balls in red, green and blue boxes respectively.
Then,
R + G + B = 108 ...(i),
G + R = 2B ...(ii)
B = 2R ...(iii)
From (ii) and (iii), we have G + R = 2x 2R = 4R or G = 3R.
Putting G = 3R and B = 2R in (i), we get:
R + 3R + 2R = 108 => 6R = 108 => R = 18.
Therefore Number of balls in green box = G = 3R = (3 x 18) = 54.
Correct Answer: 30
Explanation:
Let the number of boys and girls participating in sports be 3x and 2x respectively.
Then, 3x = 15 or x = 5.
So, number of girls participating in sports = 2x = 10.
Number of students not participating in sports = 60 - (15 + 10) = 35.
Let number of boys not participating in sports be y.
Then, number of girls not participating in sports = (35 -y).
Therefore (35 - y) = y + 5 <=> 2y<=> 30<=> y = 15.
So, number of girls not participating in sports = (35 - 15) = 20.
Hence, total number of girls in the class = (10 + 20) = 30.
