Q:

Ten years ago, Karan was thrice as old as Shiva was but 10 years hence, he will be only twice as old. Find Shiva’s present age ?

A) 70 years B) 30 years
C) 60 years D) 40 years
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 30 years

Explanation:

Let Karan’s present age be x years and Shiva’s present age be y years.
Then, according to the first condition,
x - 10 = 3(y - 10) or x - 3y = - 20 ..(1)
Now, Karan’s age after 10 years = (x + 10) years
Shiva’s age after 10 years = (y + 10)
(x + 10) = 2 (y + 10) or x - 2y = 10 ..(2)
Solving (1) and (2), we get x = 70 and y = 30
Karan’s age = 70 years and Shiva’s age = 30 years.

I  gives, P = Rs. 8000 and T = 4 years.

II gives, S.I = Rs. (8800 - 8000) = Rs. 800.

R = [100 x S.I] / [p x t ]= (100 x 800)/(8000 x 4) = 2 ½ % p.a

Thus, I and II both are needed to get the answer.
