Q:

Rajeev's age after 15 years will be 5 times his age 5 years back. What is the present age of rajeev?

A) 12 B) 14
C) 22 D) 10
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 10

Explanation:

Let Rajeev's present age be  x years.

Rajeev's age after 15 years = (x + 15) years.

Rajeev's age 5 years back = (x - 5) years

Then ATQ, 

x + 15 = 5 (x - 5)

x + 15 = 5x - 25

=> x = 10

 

Hence, Rajeev's present age = x = 10 years.

Q:

By selling an article at Rs.800, a shopkeeper makes a profit of 25%.At what price should he sell the article so as to make a loss of 25%?

A) Rs.720 B) Rs.640
C) Rs.540 D) Rs.480
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Rs.480

Explanation:

SP = Rs.800 ; Profit = 25%

 CP = SP x 100100+P% = 800 x 100100+25 = 640

 

 Now, CP = Rs.640

 

Loss = 25% = 25% of Rs.640 = Rs.160

 

Thus, SP = CP - Loss = Rs.640 - Rs.160 = Rs.480

Q:

"I am five times as old as you were, when I was as old as you are", said a man to his son. Find out their present ages, if the sum of their ages is 64 years ?

A) Father = 50; Son =14 B) Father = 40; Son =24
C) Father = 60; Son =4 D) Father = 48; Son =16
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Father = 40; Son =24

Explanation:

Let the present age of the man be 'P' and son be 'Q',
Given, P + Q = 64 or Q = (64 - P)
Now the man says "I am five times as old as you were, when I was as old as you are",
So, P = 5[B - (P - Q)]
We get 6P = 10Q,
Substitute value for Q,
6P = 10(64 - P),
Therefore P = 40, Q = 24.

A) 24.75 B) 41
C) 33.5 D) 26.75
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 24.75

Explanation:

The given number series is 22, 11, 33, 16.5, 49.5, ?

22

22 / 2 = 11

11 x 3 = 33

16.5 x 3 = 49.5

49.5 / 2 = 24.75

 

Hence, the next number series is 24.75.
