Q:

Sum of the ages of Rajesh, Suresh, Mahesh and Dinesh is 76 years. 7 years hence, their age ratio is 7:6:5:8. Find Mahesh’s present age ?

A) 17 years	B) 13 years
C) 14 years	D) 16 years

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 13 years

Explanation:

Given R + S + M + D = 76

=> R+7 : S+7 : M+7 : D+7 = 7:6:5:8

=> Let the ratio = x

=> M+7 = 5x

=> M = 5x-7

=> R = 7x-7

=> S = 6x-7

=> D = 8x-7

=> R + S + M + D = 76

=> 7x-7 + 6x-7 + 5x-7 + 8x-7 = 76

=> 26x - 28 = 76

=> 26x = 104

=> x = 4

=> Mahesh's present age = 5x-7 = 20 - 7 = 13 years.

Q:

Two bike riders ride in opposite directions around a circular track, starting at the same time from the same point. Biker A rides at a speed of 16 kmph and biker B rides at a speed of 14 kmph. If the track has a diameter of 40 km, after how much time (in hours) will the two bikers meet?

A) 6.52	B) 8.14
C) 4.18	D) 5.02

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 4.18

Explanation:

Distance to be covered = $πD$ = $40 π$ km

Relative speed of bikers = 16 + 14 = 30 kmph.

Now, $t i m e = \frac{d i s \tan c e}{s p e e d}$ = $\frac{40 π}{30}$ = 4.18 hrs.

Missing Letter Challenge

A) I	B) M
C) P	D) L

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) L

Explanation:

Here the letters follow the rule (AxZ)+(A+Z)

The number corresponding to the letters are used in the rule

A=1, Z=26 => 26x1 + 1 + 26 = 26+27 = 53 = 053

(LxP)+(L+P) = (12 x16) + 12 + 16 = 192+28 = 220
