Q:

Ravi's brother is 3 years senior to him. His father was 28 years of age when his sister was born while his mother was 26 years of age when he was born. If his sister was 4 years of age when his brother was born, what were the ages of Ravi's father and mother respectively when his brother was born ?

A) 32 years, 23 years B) 32 years, 29 years
C) 35 years, 29 years D) 35 years, 33 years
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 32 years, 23 years

Explanation:

When Ravi's brother was born, let Ravi's father's age = x years and mother's age = y years.

Then, sister's age = (x - 28) years. So, x - 28 = 4 or x = 32.

Ravi's age = (y - 26) years. Age of Ravi's brother = (y - 26 + 3) years = (y - 23) years.

Now, when Ravi's brother was born, his age = 0 i.e. y - 23 = 0 or y = 23.

Q:

In a Class of 65 students and 4 teachers, each student got sweets that are 20% of the total number of students and each teacher got sweets that are 40% of the total number of students. How many sweets were there?

A) 845 B) 897
C) 949 D) 104
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 949

Explanation:

No. of  sweets each student get = 20% of 65 = 13

No. of sweets each teacher get = 40% of 65 = 26

No. of sweets distributed to 65 students =  13 × 65 = 845

No. of sweets distributed to 4 teachers = 4 × 26 = 104

Therefore, the total no. of sweets there = 845 + 104 = 949.
