Q:

If 12 men can reap 120 acres of land in 36 days, how many acres of land can 54 men reap in 54 days?

A) 710 acres	B) 760 acres
C) 810 acres	D) 860 acres

$\begin{matrix} 12 m e n & 120 a c r e s & 36 d a y s \\ 54 m e n & ? & 54 d a y s \end{matrix}$

As 12 men can reap 120 acres, 54 men will be able to reap more acres in 36 days, 120 acres of land was reaped, so in 54 days, more land will be reaped.

Thus, the numbers of acres that can be reaped by 54 men in 54 days = $\frac{54}{12} x 120 x \frac{54}{36}$ = 810 acres

Q:

Hari Ram’s present age is three times his son’s present age and two fifth of his father’s present age. The average of the present age of all of them is 46 years. What is the difference between Hari Ram’s son’s present age and Hari Ram’s father’s present age?

A) 44 yrs	B) 56 yrs
C) 67 yrs	D) 78 yrs

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 78 yrs

Explanation:

Let Hari Ram's present age = x

Then, his son's age = x/3

Father's age = 5x/2

$\frac{x + \frac{x}{3} + \frac{5}{2} x}{3} = 46 = > x = 36 yrs$
