Quantitative Aptitude - Arithmetic Ability Questions

Let the present age's of mother be 'M' and that of her son be 'S'.

According to the given data in the question,

M - 5 = 3(S - 5)

F - 3S = -10  ...............(1)

Then given ,

M + 5 : S + 5 = 11 : 5 

=> 5M - 11S = 30 ..............(2)

From (1) & (2), we get

S = 20

Then by substituting S = 20 in (1) or (2), we get

M = 50.

Hence, the present age of mother is M = 50 years.

Given K=4L 

-->K+L = 4L+L = 5L

These 5L people can complete the work in 24 days, which means L alone can do the work in (24 x 5)=120 days.

Hence, K alone can do the work in 120/4= 30 days.

From the given data,

                       Day      Capacity

A              ->    12          2

B              ->     8           3             2

A + B + C ->     2            12

=> Capacity of C = 12 - 5 = 7

Ratio of capacity of A : B : C = 2 : 3 : 7

Difference of wages of C & B = 4/5 x 1540

= 4 x 308 = Rs. 1232

1 boy's 1 day work = 1/70

1 girl's 1 day work = 1/140

(5 boys + 10 girls)'s 1 day work = (5/70 + 10/140) = (1/14 + 1/14) = 1/7

5 boys and 10 girls will complete the work in 7 days.

Let S be the sample space. Then,
n(s) = number of ways of drawing 4 pearls out of 14

= C414 ways = 14×13×12×114×3×2×1= 1001

Let E be the event of drawing 4 pearls of the same colour.
Then, E = event of drawing (4 pearls out of 5) or (4 pearls out of 4) or (4 pearls out of 5)

  ⇒C15+ C44+ C15 = 5+1+5 =11

 P(E) = n(E)n(S)=111001=191  

 Required probability = 1-191=9091

Let O's share = Rs. P

=> N's share = 75100 x P = 3P4

M's share = 54 x 3P4 = 15P16

$$\begin{gathered} 15P16 + 3P4 + P = 4300 \\ => P = 4300 x 1643 = 1600 \end{gathered}$$ 

Quarter of Kg means 250 gm

Less weight, less price (Direct Proportion)

So,

250 : 200 :: 60 : x => x = 48

So 200 gm will cost 48 paise.
