Q:

The ratio of K’s and M’s ages is 4: 5. If the difference between the present age of M and the age of K, 5 years hence is 3 years, then what is the difference and total of present ages of K and M?

A) 8, 72 yrs B) 16, 65 yrs
C) 12, 84 yrs D) 10, 60 yrs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 8, 72 yrs

Explanation:

Let the present ages be K,M

Given K/M = 4/5

5K - 4M = 0 ......(1)

Also given that,

M - (K + 5) = 3

M - K = 8 .........(2)


Then, by solving (1) & (2)

M = 40 yrs and K = 32 yrs

Hence, Total of ages = 40 + 32 = 72 yrs

Difference of ages = 40 - 32 = 8 yrs.

C) 60 km/h , 75 km/h D) 75 km/h , 100 km/h
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 75 km/h , 100 km/h

Explanation:

Let Pele x km in 1 hour. so Maradona takes (2h-40min)=1 h 20 min to cover x km. Let speed of Maradona and Pele be M and P respectively than 

                            x =M x (4/3)  and x= P x 1

  => M/P = 3/4 

 Again      300M=300P=1

⇒3003k-3004k=1 

 => k= 25

  M= 3k = 75 km/h   and   P= 4k = 100 km/h 

( Through options it is very easy to solve)

Q:

A sum of Rs. 8,000 is deposited for 3 years at 5% per annum compound interest (compounded annually). The difference of interest for 3 years and 2 years will be

 

A) Rs. 387 B) Rs. 441
C) Rs. 469 D) Rs. 503
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 441

Explanation:

Given principal amount = Rs. 8000

Time = 3yrs

Rate = 5%

C.I for 3 yrs = 8000 x 105100 x 105100 x 105100 - 8000= Rs. 1261

 

Now, C.I for 2 yrs = 8000 x 105100 x 105100= Rs. 820 

 

Hence, the required difference in C.I is 1261 - 820 = Rs. 441
