Q:

A person's present age is two-fifth of the age of his mother. After 8 years, he will be one-half of the age of his mother. How old is the mother at present ?

A) 36 yrs	B) 38 yrs
C) 40 yrs	D) 42 yrs

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 40 yrs

Explanation:

Let the mother's present age be x years.

Then, the person's present age = 2/5 x years.

(2x/5 + 8) = 1/2 (x + 8)

2(2x + 40) = 5(x + 8) => x = 40.

Q:

A person sold two cows each for Rs.9900. If he gained 10% on one and lost 20% on the other, then which of the following is true?

A) He Gained Rs. 200	B) He lost Rs. 200
C) He neither gained nor lost	D) None of the above

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) None of the above

Explanation:

The CP of profitable cow = 9900/1.1 = 9000

and profit = Rs. 900

The CP of loss yielding cow = 9900/0.8 = 12375

and loss = Rs. 2475

so, the net loss = 2475 - 900 = 1575

Q:

The present average age of a family of five members is 26 years. If the present age of the youngest member in the family is ten years, then what was the average age of the family at the time of the birth of the youngest member ? (Assume no death occurred in the family since the birth of the youngest)

A) 19 years	B) 16 years
C) 18 years	D) 20 years

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 20 years

Explanation:

Present total age of the members = 26(5) = 130 years.

Present age of the youngest member = 10 years

Present total age of the remaining four members = 130 -10 = 120 years

Their average age at the time of the birth of the youngest member = $\frac{[120 - (4 \times 10)]}{4}$ = 30 - 10 = 20 years.
