Q:

A man’s current age is $\frac{2}{5}$ of the age of his father. After 8 years, he will be $\frac{1}{2}$ of the age of his father. What is the age of father at now ?

A) 50	B) 40
C) 33	D) 30

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 40

Explanation:

Let, father’s current age is A years.
Then, Man’s current age = $[(\frac{2}{5} * A)]$ years.

$[(\frac{2}{5} * A)]$ +8= $(\frac{1}{2}) (A + 8)$

2(2A+40) = 5(A+8)

A = 40

Q:

The ages of Krish and Vaibhav are in the proportion of 3 : 5. After 9 years, the proportion of their ages will be 3 : 4. Then the current age of Vaibhav is:

A) 10	B) 13
C) 15	D) 18

Q:

If 47. 2506 = 4*A + 7/B + 2*C + 5/D + 6*E, then the value of 5*A + 3*B + 6*C + D + 3*E is :

A) 55.6003	B) 53.603
C) 153.6003	D) 213.003

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 153.6003

Explanation:

4*A + 7/B + 2*C + 5/D + 6*E =47.2506
=> 4 * A + 7/B + 2 *C + 5/D + 6*E = 40 + 7 + 0.2 + 0.05 + 0.0006
Comparing the terms on both sides, we get :
4*A =40, 7/B = 7, 2*C = 0.2, 5/D = 0.05, 6*E = 0.0006
A = 10,
B = 1,
C = 0.1,
D = 100,
E = 0.0001.
5*A + 3*B + 6*C + D + 3*E =(5*10) + (3*1) + (6*0.1) +100 +(3*0.0001)
=50 + 3 + 0.6 + 100 + 0.003 = 153.6003.
