Q:

What is Gagan's age ?

I. Gagan, Vimal and Kunal are all of the siime age.

II. Total age of Vimal, Kunal and Anil is 32 and Anil is as old as Vimal and Kunal together.

A) If the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question	B) If the data in statement II alone are sufficient answer the question
C) If the data either in I or II alone are sufficient to answer the question;	D) If the data in both the statements together are needed.

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) If the data in both the statements together are needed.

Explanation:

As given in statements I and II, we have G = V = K, V + K + A = 32 and A = V + K.

Putting V + K = A in second. we get 2A = 32 or A = 16.

Thus, V + K = 16 and V = K. So, V = K = 8. Thus, R = 8

Hence, both the statements are needed.

Q:

In a village the average age of n people is 42 years. But after the verification it was found that the age of a person had been considered 20 years less than the actual age, so the new average, after the correction,increased by 1. The value of n is :

A) 21	B) 20
C) 22	D) None of these

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 20

Explanation:

It is the same as a person with 20 years more age replaces an existing person of the group ( or village)

Since the total age of the village having n persons, is being increased by 20 years and the average age of village is being increased by 1 year, hence there are total 20 people in the village.

Alternatively : ( n x 42 ) + 20 = ( n x 43 )

=> n=20

Q:

4 kg of a metal contains 1/5 copper and rest in Zinc. Another 5 kg of metal contains 1/6 copper and rest in Zinc.The ratio of Copper and Zinc into the mixture of these two metals:

A) 49 : 221	B) 39:231
C) 94:181	D) None of these

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 49 : 221

Explanation:

Copper in 4 kg = 4/5 kg and Zinc in 4 kg = 4 x (4/5) kg

Copper in 5 kg = 5/6 kg and Zinc in 5 kg = 5 x (5/6) kg

Therefore, Copper in mixture = $\frac{4}{5} + \frac{5}{6} = \frac{49}{30}$ kg

and Zinc in the mixture = $\frac{16}{5} + \frac{25}{6} = \frac{221}{30}$ kg

Therefore the required ratio = 49 : 221
