Correct Answer: 11 : 4
Explanation:
Let father's age be 4T and son's age T years.
? 4T x T = 196
? T2 = 49
? T = 7
Father's age after 5 years = (4T + 5) = 33 years
Son's age after 5 years = (T + 5) = 12 years
? Ratio of their ages after 5 years = 33 : 12 = 11 : 4
Correct Answer: 84 km/h
Explanation:
Total speed of car, bus and train = 72 × 3 = 216 Km
Speed of car and train = ( 5 + 9 ) x 216 / ( 5 + 9 + 4 ) = 168 Km
Average = 168 / 2 = 84 Km
Correct Answer: 20
Explanation:
A : B : C = 90 : 75 : 60
B:C = 75 / 60 = ( 75 x 100?75 ) / ( 60 x 100?75) = 100 / 80
Hence, in a game of 100 points, B can give C(100 - 80)
= 20 points.
Correct Answer: 10
Explanation:
A scores 100 while B scores 100 - 20 = 80 and C scores 100 - 28 = 72.
? While B scores 80, C scores 72.
? While B scores 100, C scores 72 × 100 / 80 = 90.
? B can give C 100 - 90 = 10 points.
Correct Answer: 3.5 minutes
Explanation:
Let us assume A cover P meter in the time after which he meets with B.
According to question,
Time taken by A to cover the P distance = Time taken by B to cover the 4200 - P distance.
Use the distance and time formula
P / 500 = (4200 - P ) / 700
Or 700P = 500 x 4200 - 500P
Or 700P + 500P = 500 x 4200
Or 1200P = 500 x 4200
Or 12P = 5 x 4200
Or P = 5 x 4200 / 12
Or P = 5 x 350
Or P = 1750 meters
Required time taken by A to cover 1750 meters = 1750 / 500 = 175/50
Required time taken by A to cover 1750 meters = 3.5 minutes.
Correct Answer: 2 : 3
Explanation:
? 3x + 5x = 80
? x = 10
Ratio of their ages after 10 years = (3x + 10) : (5x + 10) = 40 : 60 = 2 : 3
Correct Answer: 15 years
Explanation:
Let Ashok's age = 4x years and Pradeep's age = 3x years
From question, 4x + 6 = 26
? x = 5
&ther4; Pradeep's age = 3x = 15 years.
Correct Answer: 20 years
Explanation:
Let Ajay's age 10 years back be x years.
Then Sachin's age 10 years back = 2x years
? 2x + 20 = 40
? x = 10
? Present age of Ajay = x + 10 = 20 years
Correct Answer: 7 years
Explanation:
Let the son's present age be x years
Then, (x + 4 ) + (4x + 4) = 43
? 5x = 35
? x = 7 years
Correct Answer: 24, 4
Explanation:
Let the age of B be N years
According to the question
? N + 20 = 6N
? N = 4 years
? A's age = 4 x 6 = 24 years and B's age = 4 years
