Q:

Ten years ago, A was half of B in age. If the ratio of their present ages is 3:4, then what will be the total of their present ages?

Answer

Let A's age 10 years ago be x years 


Then B's age 10 years ago  be 2x yeats


\inline \Rightarrow \frac{x+10}{2x+10}=\frac{3}{4}


\inline \Rightarrow 4(x+10)=3(2x+10)


\inline \Rightarrow x=5


\inline \therefore Total of their present ages =                                        


                                          =

Cash price = $21 000

Deposit = 10% × $21 000 = $2100 

Loan amount = $21000 − $2100 = $18900

I=p x r x t/100 

I=11340

Total amount = 18900 + 11340 = $30240

Regular payment = total amount /number of payments

Q:

In a race of 1000 m, A can beat by 100 m, in a race of 800m, B can beat C by 100m. By how many meters will A beat C in a race of 600 m ?

A) 127.5 m B) 254 m
C) 184 m D) 212 m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 127.5 m

Explanation:

When A runs 1000 m, B runs 900 m and when B runs 800 m, C runs 700 m.

When B runs 900 m, distance that C runs = (900 x 700)/800 = 6300/8 = 787.5 m.

In a race of 1000 m, A beats C by (1000 - 787.5) = 212.5 m to C.

In a race of 600 m, the number of meters by which A beats C

= (600 x 212.5)/1000 = 127.5 m.

Q:

Concept of Efficiency

A can do a job in 12 days and B can do the same job in 6 days, in how many days working together they can complete the job?

Answer

A's 1 days work = 1/12 


B's 1 days work =1/6


Therefore, (A+B)'s 1 day's work= 1/12 + 1/6 = 1/4       


Therefore, Time taken by both to finish the whole work = 114 = 4 days


 


Alternatively :


Efficiency of A =100/12 =8.33%


Efficiency of B =100/6=16.66%


Combined efficiency of A and B both = 8.33+16.66=25%


Therefore, Time taken by both to finish the work (working together) =100/25= 4days
