Q:

A motorboat goes 8 km an hour in still water, but takes thrice as much time in going the same distance against the current than going with the current. Then find the speed of the current?

A) 4 kmph B) 6 kmph
C) 3 kmph D) 2 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 4 kmph

Explanation:

Let the speed of current = 'C' km/hr

 

Given the speed of boat in still water = 6 kmph

 

Let 'd' kms be the distance it covers.

 

According to the given data,

 

Boat takes thrice as much time in going the same distance against the current than going with the current

 

i.e, d8 - C = 3 × d8 + C

 

 24 - 3C = 8 + C 4C = 16 C = 4 kmph

 

Hence, the speed of the current C = 4 kmph.

Q:

A person starting with 64 rupees and making 6 bets, wins three times and loses three times, the wins and loses occurring in random order. The chance for a win is equal to the chance for a loss. If each wager is for half the money remaining at the time of the bet, then the final result is:

A) A gain of Rs. 27 B) A loss of Rs. 37
C) A loss of Rs. 27 D) A gain of Rs. 37
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) A loss of Rs. 37

Explanation:

As the win leads to multiplying the amount by 1.5 and loss leads to multiplying the amount by 0.5, we will multiply the initial amount by 1.5 thrice and by 0.5 thrice (in any order).

The overall resultant will remain same.

So final amount with the person will be (in all cases):

64(1.5)(1.5)(1.5)(0.5)(0.5)(0.5)= Rs. 27

Hence the final result is: 

64 − 27 37

A loss of Rs.37

Q:

5 years ago Sushma was 5 times as old as her Son. 5 years hence her age will be 8 less than three times the corresponding age of her Son. Find their ages ?

A) 24 and 13 years B) 48 and 24 years
C) 35 and 11 years D) 33 and 15 years
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 35 and 11 years

Explanation:

Let the age of sushma be x and
the age of her son is y
Then five years before x-5=5(y-5) ...(1)
Five years hence x+5 = 3(y+5)-8 .....(2)

By soving (1) & (2), we get
5y - 15 = 3y + 7
y = 11 => x = 35

Therefore, the age of Sushma = 35 and her son = 11.
