Q:

Present ages of Deepa and Hyma are in the ratio of 5:6 respectively. After four years, this ratio becomes 6: 7. What is the difference between their present ages?

A) 6 yrs B) 4 yrs
C) 8 yrs D) 2 yrs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 4 yrs

Explanation:

Let the present age of Deepa = 5p

Let the present age of Hyma = 6p

After four years their ratio = 6 : 7

=> 5p + 46p + 4 = 67

=> 35p + 28 = 36p + 24

=> p = 4

Therefore, the difference between their ages = 24 - 20 = 4 years.

Q:

'K' cycled from A to B at 10 kmph and returned at the rate of 9 kmph. 'L' cycled both ways at 12 kmph. In the whole journey 'L' took 10 minutes less than 'K'. Find the distance between A and B ?

A) 32.1 km B) 15.23 km
C) 3.75 km D) 32.1 m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 3.75 km

Explanation:

Let 'd' be the distance between A and B
K -time = d/10 + d/9 = 19d/90 hours
L -time = 2d/12 = d/6 hours
We know that, 10 min = 1/6 hours
Thus, time difference between K and L is given as 10 minutes.
=> 19d/90 - d/6 = 1/6
=> (19d-15d)/90 = 1/6
=> 4d/90 = 1/6
Thus,
d= 15/4 km = 3.75 km.

hence the distance between A and B is 3.75 km.
