Correct Answer: 896
Explanation:
We may choose 1 officer and 5 jawans or 2 officers and 4 jawans ......... or 4 officers and 2 jawans.
So Required answer = [4C1 x 8C5] + [4C2 x 8C4] + [4C3 x 8C3] + [4C4 x 8C2]

Correct Answer: 12 yr
Explanation:
Let ages of man and his son are 8k yr and k yr, respectively .
According to the question,

? k = (27 x 2)/9 = 6
Hence, age of son after 6 yr = 6 + 6 = 12 yr
