Ajay who is a King, at his eleventh hour, called his three queens and distributed his gold in the following way: He gave 50% of his wealth to his first wife, 50% of the rest to his second wife and again 50% of the rest to his third wife. If their combined share is worth1,30,900 kilograms of gold, find the quantity of gold King Ajay was having initially?

A) 153145 kgs B) 147890 kgs
C) 152400 kgs D) 149600 kgs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 149600 kgs

Explanation:

Let the total quantity of gold be p kgs.

According to the question,

50% of p + 25% of p + 12.5% of p = 130900

87.5% of p = 130900

p = 130900 x 100/87.5  = 149600 kgs.

 

Therefore, the initial gold quantity that king has = p = 149600 kgs.

Q:

If 6 engines consume 24 metric tonnes of coal, when each is working 8 hours day, how much coal will be required for 9 engines, each running 13hours a day, it being given that 2 engines of former type consume as much as 3 engines of latter type ?

A) 45 metric tonnes B) 47 metric tonnes
C) 55 metric tonnes D) 34 metric tonnes
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 45 metric tonnes

Explanation:

2 engines of former type for one hour consumes (2 x 24)/(6 x8) = 1 metric ton 

i.e. 3 engines of latter type consumes 1 ton for one hour

Q:

Sum of present ages of P and Q is 41. Age of P 2 year hence is equal to age of R, 1 year ago. Age of P, 4 year hence is equal to age of Q 1 year ago and ratio of present age of P and S is 3 : 4. Find the difference of age of R and S. 

A) 2 B) 3
C) 4 D) 5
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 3

Explanation:

According to the given data,

P + Q = 41 ......(1)

R - 1 = P + 2

R = P + 3

and

P + 4 = Q - 1

=> Q = P + 5 ....(2)

From (1)&(2)

P = 18

Q = 18 + 5 = 23

R = 18 + 3 = 21

=> P/S = 3/4

=> S = 4/3 x 18 = 24

Required Difference = S - R = 24 - 21 = 3.
