A) 34 years B) 26 years
C) 24 years D) 36 years
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 36 years

Explanation:

Let present ages of Sushanth = w, Krish = x, Rishi = y and Rohit = z , then
w + x + y = 43 x 3 = 129 ---(i) and
w + y + z = 49 x 3 = 147 ---(ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii), (w+y+z) - (w+x+y) = 147 - 129 , z - x = 18 ---(iii)
Given Rohit's age=z=54, so from (iii), x = 54 - 18 = 36.
Therefore, Krish age is 36 years.

A) 8 B) 6
C) 5 D) 3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 3

Explanation:

Given teacher drinks 9 ltr
Let number of boys be 'A'.
Let number of girls be 'B'.
Boy drinks 7 ltr and girl drinks 4 ltr
After class total water consumed = 42 ltr
Then,
9 + 7A + 4B = 42
=> 7A + 4B = 33
By trial and error method,
The only integers which satisfy the equation is A = 3 and B = 3
Therefore, number of girls in the class = 3.
