Q:

Count the number of cubes in the given figure.

A) 8 B) 9
C) 12 D) 15
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 15

Explanation:

Clearly, there are 4 columns containing 1 cube each, 4 columns containing 2 cubs each and 1 column containing 3 cubes.

Hence, there are (4 x 1) + (4 x 2) + (1 x 3) = 4 + 8 + 3 = 15 cubes in the given figure.

Q:

Determine the number of rectangles and hexagons in the following figure.

A) 30, 5 B) 32, 3
C) 28, 5 D) 30, 3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 30, 5

Explanation:

The figure may be labelled as shown

 

 

Rectangles :

 

The simplest rectangles are CVSR, VETS, RSWM and STKW i.e 4 in number.

 

The rectangles composed of two components each are CETR, VEKW, RTKM and CVWM i.e 4 in number.

 

The rectangles composed of three components each are ACRP, PRMO, EGHT and THIK i.e 4 in number.

 

The rectangles composed of four components each are CEKM, AVSP, PSWO,VGHS and SHIW i.e 5 in number.

 

The rectangles composed of five components each are AETP, PTKO, CGHR and RHIM i.e 4 in number.

 

The rectangles composed of six components each are ACMO and EGIK i.e 2 in number.

 

The rectangles composed of eight components each are AGHP, PHIO, AVWO and VGIW i.e 4 in number.

 

The rectangles composed of ten components each are AEKO and CGIM i.e 2 in number.

 

AGIO is the only rectangle having sixteen components

 

Total number of rectangles in the given figure = 4 + 4 + 4 + 5 + 4 + 2 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 30.

 

Hexagons :

 

The hexagons in the given figure are CDEKLM, CEUKMQ, CFHJMQ, BEUKNP and BFHJNP. So, there are 5 hexagons in the given figure.

Q:

Count the number of triangles and squares in the given figure.

A) 36 triangles, 7 Squares B) 38 triangles, 9 Squares
C) 40 triangles, 7 Squares D) 42 triangles, 9 Squares
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 40 triangles, 7 Squares

Explanation:

The figure may be labelled as shown 

 

 

Triangles :

 


The Simplest triangles are BGM, GHM, HAM, ABM, GIN, IJN, JHN, HGN, IKO, KLO, LJO, JIO, KDP, DEP, ELP, LKP, BCD and AFE i.e 18 in number

 

The triangles composed of two components each are ABG, BGH, GHA, HAB, HGI, GIJ, IJH, JHG, JIK, IKL, KLJ,LJI, LKD, KDE, DEL and ELK i.e 16 in number.

 

The triangles composed of four components each are BHI, GJK, ILD, AGJ, HIL and JKE i.e 6 in number.

 

Total number of triangles in the figure = 18 + 16 + 6 =40.

 

Squares :

 


The Squares composed of two components each are MGNH, NIOJ, and OKPL i.e 3 in number

 

The Squares composed of four components each are BGHA, GIJH, IKJL and KDEL i.e 4 in number

 

Total number of squares in the figure = 3 + 4 =7

Q:

The ratio of the present ages of P and Q is 3 : 4. Five years ago, the ratio of their ages was 5 : 7. Find their present ages.

Answer

As the ratio of their present ages is 3 : 4 , let their present ages be 3X and 4X.


So, 5 years ago, as the ratio of their ages was 5 : 7, we can write  (3x-5) : (4x-5) = 5 : 7. Solving, we get X = 10. Hence, their present ages are 3X = 30 and 4X = 40

Q:

The sum of the present ages of two persons A and B is 60. If the age of A is twice that of B, find the sum of their ages 5 years hence.

Answer

Given that, A+B = 60  and A = 2B.


Solving, We get A = 40, B = 20.


Five years their ages will be 45 and 25, so the sum of their ages will be 70.
