Q:

Avanthi’s age is 1/6th of her father’s age. Her father’s age will be twice of Kapil’s age after 10 years. If Kapil’s eighth birthday was celebrated two years ago, then what is Avanthi’s present age ?

Kapil’s present age = 8 + 2 = 10 years.

Father's age is twice of Kapil’s age after 10 years.
=> F + 10 = 2 (K + 10) = 2 (10+ 10)
F = 30years,

Avanthi's age =1/6(F) = 30/6 = 5 years.

How many number of weights do you need to weight 31 kg of Rice if you have one kg of weight stone ?

A) 3 B) 5
C) 7 D) 9
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 5

4kg = 1 + 2 + 1
8kg = 1 + 2 + 4 + 1
16kg = 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 1
31kg = 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16
So 5 weights are needed.
