Q:

5 years ago Sushma was 5 times as old as her Son. 5 years hence her age will be 8 less than three times the corresponding age of her Son. Find their ages ?

A) 24 and 13 years B) 48 and 24 years
C) 35 and 11 years D) 33 and 15 years
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 35 and 11 years

Explanation:

Let the age of sushma be x and
the age of her son is y
Then five years before x-5=5(y-5) ...(1)
Five years hence x+5 = 3(y+5)-8 .....(2)

By soving (1) & (2), we get
5y - 15 = 3y + 7
y = 11 => x = 35

Therefore, the age of Sushma = 35 and her son = 11.

Q:

Avanthi’s age is 1/6th of her father’s age. Her father’s age will be twice of Kapil’s age after 10 years. If Kapil’s eighth birthday was celebrated two years ago, then what is Avanthi’s present age ?

A) 6 years B) 4 years
C) 7 years D) None
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) None

Explanation:

As given Kapil's 8th birthday was celebrated 2 years ago,

Kapil’s present age = 8 + 2 = 10 years.

Father's age is twice of Kapil’s age after 10 years.
=> F + 10 = 2 (K + 10) = 2 (10+ 10)
F = 30years,

Avanthi's age =1/6(F) = 30/6 = 5 years.

Q:

20 men went to a restaurant. Ninteen of them paid Rs.70 each and the twentieth man paid Rs.90.25 more than the average of all the 20 men. What is the total bill ?

A) Rs. 1495 B) Rs. 548
C) Rs. 850 D) Rs. 1750
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 1495

Explanation:

Let the average bill paid by twenty members = 'x'

But 19 men paid each = Rs. 70

20th man paid Rs. 90.25 more than the avg bill of 20 = x + 90.25

20x = 19(70) + x + 90.25
19x = 1330 + 90.25
19x = 1420.25
x = 1420.25/19 = Rs. 74.75

But the total bill = 20 x 74.75 = Rs. 1495.
