A) Both are equally good B) 9 3/4% stock at 117
C) Cannot be compared, as the total amount of investment is not given D) 11% stock at 143
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 9 3/4% stock at 117

Let investment in each case be Rs. (143 x 117).

 

Income in 1st case = Rs.11143 x 143 x 117 = Rs. 1287.
Income in 2nd case = Rs.394×117 x 143 x 117= Rs. 1394.25

 

Clearly, 9 3/4% stock at 117 is better.

The spaces P, Q and R have to be shaded by three different colours definitely (since each of these three spaces lies adjacent to the other two).
Now, in order that no two adjacent spaces be shaded by the same colour, the spaces T, U and S must be shaded with the colours of the spaces P, Q and R respectively.
Also the spaces X, V and W must be shaded with the colours of the spaces S, T and U respectively i.e. with the colours of the spaces R, P and Q respectively. Thus, minimum three colour pencils are required.

Q:

Ayush was born two years after his father's marriage. His mother is five years younger than his father but 20 years older than Ayush who is 10 years old. At what age did the father get married ?

A) 25 years B) 24 years
C) 23 years D) 22 years
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 23 years

Explanation:

Ayush's present age = 10 years.
His mother's present age = (10 + 20) years = 30 years.
Ayush's father's present age = (30 + 5) years = 35 years.
Ayush's father's age at the time of Ayush's birth = (35 - 10) years = 25 years.

Therefore Ayush's father's age at the time of marriage = (25 - 2) years = 23 years.
