Q:

A boat takes 19 hours for travelling downstream from point A to point B and coming back to a point C which is at midway between A and B. If the velocity of the stream is 4 kmph and the speed of the boat in still water is 14 kmph, what is the distance between A and B ? 

A) 180 km B) 160 km
C) 140 km D) 120 km
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 180 km

Explanation:

Speed in downstream = (14 + 4) km/hr = 18 km/hr;

Speed in upstream = (14 – 4) km/hr = 10 km/hr.

Let the distance between A and B be x km. Then,

x/18 + (x/2)/10 = 19 ⇔ x/18 + x/20 = 19 ⇒ x = 180 km.

Q:

"I am five times as old as you were, when I was as old as you are", said a man to his son. Find out their present ages, if the sum of their ages is 64 years ?

A) Father = 50; Son =14 B) Father = 40; Son =24
C) Father = 60; Son =4 D) Father = 48; Son =16
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Father = 40; Son =24

Explanation:

Let the present age of the man be 'P' and son be 'Q',
Given, P + Q = 64 or Q = (64 - P)
Now the man says "I am five times as old as you were, when I was as old as you are",
So, P = 5[B - (P - Q)]
We get 6P = 10Q,
Substitute value for Q,
6P = 10(64 - P),
Therefore P = 40, Q = 24.

A) 3.27 % loss B) 4.15 % loss
C) 3.27 % gain D) 4.15 % gain
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 3.27 % gain

Explanation:

Let cp= 100,
35 % increase in sp=135
10 % discount in 135((135*10)/100)=13.5
so 1st sp=(135-13.5)=121.5, again 15 % discount in 1st sp((121.5*15)/100)=18.225
2nd sp=(121.5-18.225)=103.275,

so finally cp=100,sp=103.275 ,gain by 3.27%

A) 2023 B) 2027
C) 2029 D) 2022
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 2029

Explanation:

How to find the years which have the same Calendars : 

 Leap year calendar repeats every 28 years. 

Here 28 is distributed as 6 + 11 + 11.

  

Rules:

a) If given year is at 1st position after Leap year then next repeated calendar year is Given Year + 6.

 b) If given year is at 2nd position after Leap year then next repeated calendar year is Given Year + 11.

 c) If given year is at 3rd position after Leap year then next repeated calendar year is Given Year + 11

 

Now, the given year is 2018

We know that 2016 is a Leap year.

2016  2017  2018  2019  2020

 LY    1st     2nd    3rd    LY

Here 2018 is at 2 nd position after the Leap year.

According to rule ( b) the calendar of 2018 is repeated for the year is 2018 + 11 = 2029.
