Q:

A fraction becomes 2/3 when 1 is added to both, its numerator and denominator .And , it becomes 1/2 when 1 is subtracted from both the numerator and denominator. What is the fraction?

Answer

Let required fraction be $\frac{x}{y}$ then

$\frac{x+1}{y+1}=\frac{2}{3}\Rightarrow 3x-2y=-1$ ............. (i)

and $\frac{x-1}{y-1}=\frac{1}{2}\Rightarrow 2x-y=1$ ............ (ii)

Solving (i) and (ii) we get x=3, y=5

$\inline \therefore$ Required fraction = $\frac{3}{5}$

Q:

Simplify and find '?'

$48 \sqrt{?} + 32 \sqrt{?} = 320$

A) 4	B) 8
C) 16	D) 32

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 16

Explanation:

given

$48 \sqrt{?} + 32 \sqrt{?} = 320$

=> $6 \sqrt{?} + 4 \sqrt{?} = 40$

Now squaring on both sides

=> $36 x ? + 16 x ? + 48 x ? = 1600$

=> 100 x ? = 1600

=> ? = 16

Answer

Suppose age of each women be W and average age of 12 men be x

$\therefore \frac{12x-28-32+2W}{12}=x-1$

$\therefore W=24$

Hence , each woman's age = 24 years
