Q:

Ravi's brother is 3 years senior to him. His father was 28 years of age when his sister was born while his mother was 26 years of age when he was born. If his sister was 4 years of age when his brother was born, what were the ages of Ravi's father and mother respectively when his brother was born ?

A) 32 years, 23 years B) 32 years, 29 years
C) 35 years, 29 years D) 35 years, 33 years
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 32 years, 23 years

Explanation:

When Ravi's brother was born, let Ravi's father's age = x years and mother's age = y years.

Then, sister's age = (x - 28) years. So, x - 28 = 4 or x = 32.

Ravi's age = (y - 26) years. Age of Ravi's brother = (y - 26 + 3) years = (y - 23) years.

Now, when Ravi's brother was born, his age = 0 i.e. y - 23 = 0 or y = 23.

Q:

In a class of 60 students, the number of boys and girls participating in the annual sports is in the ratio 3 : 2 respectively. The number of girls not participating in the sports is 5 more than the number of boys not participating in the sports. If the number of boys participating in the sports is 15, then how many girls are there in the class ?

A) 20 B) 25
C) 30 D) Data inadequate
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 30

Explanation:

Let the number of boys and girls participating in sports be 3x and 2x respectively.

 

Then, 3x = 15 or x = 5.

 

So, number of girls participating in sports = 2x = 10.

 

Number of students not participating in sports = 60 - (15 + 10) = 35.

 

Let number of boys not participating in sports be y.

 

Then, number of girls not participating in sports = (35 -y).

 

Therefore (35 - y) = y + 5 <=> 2y<=>  30<=> y = 15.

 

So, number of girls not participating in sports = (35 - 15) = 20.

 

Hence, total number of girls in the class = (10 + 20) = 30.

Q:

Two bus tickets from city A to B and three tickets from city A to C cost Rs. 77 but three tickets from city A to B and two tickets from city A to C cost Rs. 73. What are the fares for cities B and C from A ?

A) Rs. 4, Rs. 23 B) Rs. 13, Rs. 17
C) Rs. 15, Rs. 14 D) Rs. 17, Rs. 13
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 13, Rs. 17

Explanation:

Let Rs. x be the fare of city B from city A and Rs. y be the fare of city C from city A.

Then, 2x + 3y = 77 ...(i) and

3x + 2y = 73 ...(ii)

Multiplying (i) by 3 and (ii) by 2 and subtracting, we get: 5y = 85 or y = 17.

Putting y = 17 in (i), we get: x = 13.
