Correct Answer: 17 yr
Explanation:
Let the present age of Varun be M and present age of Kapil be N.
According to the questions,
M + N = 42 ...(i)
Again, according to the question, After 5 yr,
(M + 5)/(N + 5) = 15/11
? 11M + 55 = 15N + 75
? 11M - 15N = 20 ...(ii)
On solving Eqs. (i) and (ii),
? N = 17 yr
Hence, present age of Kapil = 17 yr
Correct Answer: 34 yr
Explanation:
? Total age of 9 students and a teacher = 10 x 16 = 160 yr
Total age of first 4 students = 4 x 19 = 76 yr

Distance covered in passing each other = 512 + 528 = 1040 m
? Required time = 1040/40 = 26 s
Correct Answer: None of these
Explanation:
Let the present age of Kunal be 3x year and the
present age of Ganesh = 5x years.
According to question ,
(5x + 4 ) - (3x + 4 ) = 12
? 2x = 12
? x = 6
? Present age of Kunal = 3x = 3 x 6 = 18 year
Correct Answer: 32 yr
Explanation:
? Total age of Sachin and Saurabh = 36 x 2 = 27 yr
Let age of Saurabh = x yr

Let age of Raman's daughter = N yr
Then, age of Raman's = 3N yr
and age of Raman's mother = (13/9) x 3N = 13N/3 yr
According to the question, N + 3N + 13N/3 = 125
? 3N + 9N + 13N = 125 x 3
? N = (125 x 3)/25 = 15
Hence, required difference = 13N/3 - N = 10N/3
= (10 x 15)/3 = 50 yr
Correct Answer: 30 yr
