Q:

A man said to his son, "I was two-thirds of your present age when you were born". IIf the present age of the man is 48 years, find the present age of the son.

Answer

Let the Present age of the son be P, which means he was born P years ago.At the time the son was born, the age of the man was : (48 - P). So, according to the statement made by the man, his age when the son was born should be equal to 2/3 of P.

Therefore, $(48-P)=\frac{2}{3}P$

Solving, we get P = 28.8 years; which is the present age of the son.

Q:

Find the remainder when 1234 x 1235 x 1237 is divided by 8.

A) 4	B) 2
C) 0	D) 6

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 6

Explanation:

When we divide 1234 by 8, remainder is 2

When we divide 1235 by 8, remainder is 3

When we divide 1237 by 8, remainder is 5

---> 2 x 3 x 5 = 30

As 30 will not be the remainder because it is greater than 8,

when 30 divided by 8, remainder = 6.
