Q:

Ten years ago A was half of B in age. If the ratio of their present ages is 3 : 4, what will be the total of their present ages

A) 15 B) 25
C) 35 D) 45
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 35

Explanation:

Let A's age 10 years ago = x years.
Then, B's age 10 years ago = 2x years.
(x + 10) / (2x+ l0) = 3/4
=> x = 5.
So, the total of their present ages =(x + 10 + 2x + 10)
= (3x + 20) = 35 years.

Q:

If the cost price of a certain object doubles, then the loss gets tripled of what it was initially. The initial loss % was ?

A) 0 % B) 25 %
C) 75 % D) 50 %
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 50 %

Explanation:

Let the cost price be x and selling price be y.
Loss = x – y

 

When the cost price doubles, the loss gets tripled.
So it becomes like this, 2x – y = 3(x-y)

=> x = 2y

 

Loss % = (loss/ C.P) x 100 = [(2y-y)/2y] x 100= 50 %
