Q:

Four person A, B, C and D. The sum of their present age is 176. Four years ago ratio of their age was 11: 9 : 6 : 14, then find who is eldest and youngest among them ?

A) A is eldest & C is youngest B) D is eldest & C is youngest
C) C is eldest & A is youngest D) A is eldest & B is youngest
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) D is eldest & C is youngest

Explanation:

Given sum of present ages of A, B, C & D

A + B + C + D = 176

and also given that,

(A-4) : (B-4) : (C-4) : (D-4) = 11 : 9 : 6 : 14

Let the ratio = x

=> A-4 + B-4 + C-4 + D-4 = 11x + 9x + 6x + 14x

=> (A + B + C + D ) - 16 = 40x

=> 176 - 16 = 40x

=> x = 4

=> A = 44 + 4 = 48

=> B = 40

=> C = 28

=> D = 60

Therefore, from the above conclusions

D is eldest with 60 years and C is youngest with 28 years of ages.

Q:

In a mixture of three varities of oils , the ratio of their weight is 4 : 5 : 8. If 5 kg of oils of the first variety, 10 kg of the second variety and some quantity of oils of the third variety are added to the mixture, the ratio of the weights of three varieties of oils becomes as 5 : 7 : 9 in the final mixture, find the quantity of third variety of oil was ? 

A) 15 kg B) 25 kg
C) 35 kg D) 45 kg
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 45 kg

Explanation:

Let the ratio of initial quantity of oils be 'x' => 4x, 5x & 8x.
Let k be the quantity of third variety of oil in the final mixture.
Let the ratio of initial quantity of oils be 'y'
From given details,
4x + 5 = 5y ..... (1)
5x + 10 = 7y .....(2)
8x + k = 9y ......(3)

By solving (1) & (2), we get
x = 5 & y = 5

From (3) => k = 5

Therefore, quantity of third variety of oil was 9y = 9(5) = 45kg.
