At present, the ratio of the age of Maya and Chhaya is 6 : 5 and fifteen years from now, the ratio will get changed to 9 : 8. Maya’s present age is:

(1) 21 years (2) 24 years (3) 30years (4) 40 years Solution: Let Maya’s present age be 6x years and Chhaya’s present age be 5x years. After 15 years, 6x+15/5x+15 = 9/8 ⇒ 48x + 120 = 45x + 135 ⇒ 48x – 45x = 135 – 120 ⇒ 3x= 15  ⇒ x=5 :. Maya’s present age = […]

Two men start together to walk a certain distance, one at 4 km/h and another at 3 km/h.The former arrives half an hour before the latter. Find the distance.

(1) 8km (2)7km (3) 6 km (4)9km Solution: If the required distance be x km,then x/3-x/4=1/2 ⇒ 4x-3x/12=1/2 ⇒ x/12=1/2 ⇒ x= 6km Then the option is (3) 6km

A goods train 158 metres long and travelling at the speed of 32 km per hr. leaves Delhi at 6 am. Another mail train 130 metres long and travelling at the average speed of80 km per hr. leaves Delhi at 12 noon and follows the goods train. At what time will the mail train completely cross the goods train?

(1)4hours (2)4 hours 21.6 sec. (3)5 hours 21.6 sec. (4) None of these Solution: The goods train leaves Delhi at 6 am and mail train at 12 noon, hence after 6 hours The distance covered by the goods train in 6 hours at 32 km per hr.  = 32*6= 192 kms The relative velocity of

If x = √3-√2/√3+√2 and y = √3+√2/√3-√2 find the value of x3+y3 :

(1) 807 (2) 907 (3) 970 (4)870 Solution: Rationallsing the denominators. we have x=√3-√2/√3+√2*√3-√2/√3-√2 =(√3-√2)2/(√3)2-(√2)2 = 3+2-2√3*√2/3-2 = 5-2√6 and,  y=√3+√2/√3-√2*√3+√2/√3+√2 = (√3+√2)2/(√3)2-(√2)2 = 3+2+2√3*√2/3-2 = 5+2√6 :.  x+ y = 5-2√6+5+2√6 = 10 and,  xy= (5-2√6) (5+2√6) = 52-(2√6)2 =25-24=1 x3+y3 =(x+y)3-3xy (x+ y) = 103– 3 *10 = 1000 – 30 =970 Then the option is

The average age of 30 students of a class is 14 years 4 months. After admission of 5 new students in the class the average becomes 13years 9 months. The youngest one of the five new students is 9 years 11 months old. The average age of the remaining 4 new students is:

(1) 11 years 2 months (2) 13 years 6 months (3) 12 years 4 months (4) 10 years 4 months Solution: Total age of initial 30 students = 14years 4 months * 30 = 430 years Total ageof 35 students = 13years 9 months * 35 = (455 + 26)years 3 months = 481 years

The average age of 30 students of a class is 14 years 4 months. After admission of 5 new students in the class the average becomes 13years 9 months. The youngest one of the five new students is 9 years 11 months old. The average age of the remaining 4 new students is: Read More »

My grandfather was 9 times older than me 16years ago. He will be 3 times of my age 8 years from now. Eight years ago, the ratio of my age to that of my grandfather was:  (1) 3: 8 (2) 2: 5 (3) 1: 2 (4) 1: 5

Solution: 16 years ago, My age = x years My grandfather’s age = 9x years After 8 years from the present, 9x+ 16+8=3(x+8+ 16) ⇒9x+ 24 = 3x+ 24 + 48 ⇒9x+24=3x+72 ⇒9x- 3x= 72 -24  ⇒6x= 48 ⇒x=48/6 = 8 Required ratio 8 years ago, = (x+ 8) : (9x+ 8) = (8 +

The ratio of the ages of two persons is 4 : 7 and the age of one of them is greater than that of the other by 30 years. The sum of their ages (in years) is

(1) 110 (2) 100 (3) 70 (4) 40k Solution: Ages of the persons = 4x and 7x years. :. 7x-4x=30 ⇒3x=30 ⇒ x=10 :. Sum of their ages = 4x+7x = 11x years = 11*10= 110 years Then the option is (1) 110
