A) 2212 B) 2154
C) 2349 D) 2679
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 2679

Explanation:

Let x, x+2, x+4, x+6, x+8 and x+10 are six consecutive odd numbers.

Given that their average is 52

Then, x + x+2 + x+4 + x+6 + x+8 + x+10 = 52×6

6x + 30 = 312

x = 47

So Product = 47 × 57 = 2679

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.

Q:

A man purchases two articles, on selling one at loss of 20% while the other at a profit of 25%, he gains the overall profit of 5% than find the ratio of their selling price ?

A) 8 : 62.5 B) 55 : 8
C) 8 : 65 D) 64.4 : 9
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 8 : 62.5

Explanation:

                      Article I                   Article II
                         -20                         25%
                                        5%
                         20%                       25%
                     

                          4              :              5

Now, Selling of first article = (4-20%) = 0.8

Selling of second article = (5+25%) =  6.25

Therefore the ratio of selling price = 8 : 62.5
