Q:

Two old friends, Jack and Bill, meet after a long time.

 

Jack: Hey, how are you man?
Bill: Not bad, got married and I have three kids now

 

Jack: That’s awesome. How old are they?
Bill: The product of their ages is 72 and the sum of their ages is the same as your birth date.

 

Jack: Cool … But I still don’t know.
Bill : My eldest kid just started taking piano lessons.

 

Jack: Oh now I get it.
How old are Bill’s kids ?

A) 3, 3, 8 B) 2, 6, 6
C) 1, 6, 12 D) 1, 8, 9
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 3, 3, 8

Explanation:

Let’s break it down. The product of their ages is 72. So what are the possible choices?

 

2, 2, 18 – sum(2, 2, 18) = 22
2, 4, 9 – sum(2, 4, 9) = 15
2, 6, 6 – sum(2, 6, 6) = 14
2, 3, 12 – sum(2, 3, 12) = 17
3, 4, 6 – sum(3, 4, 6) = 13
3, 3, 8 – sum(3, 3, 8 ) = 14
1, 8, 9 – sum(1,8,9) = 18
1, 3, 24 – sum(1, 3, 24) = 28
1, 4, 18 – sum(1, 4, 18) = 23
1, 2, 36 – sum(1, 2, 36) = 39
1, 6, 12 – sum(1, 6, 12) = 19

 

The sum of their ages is the same as your birth date. That could be anything from 1 to 31 but the fact that Jack was unable to find out the ages, it means there are two or more combinations with the same sum. From the choices above, only two of them are possible now.

 

2, 6, 6 – sum(2, 6, 6) = 14
3, 3, 8 – sum(3, 3, 8 ) = 14

 

Since the eldest kid is taking piano lessons, we can eliminate combination 1 since there are two eldest ones. The answer is 3, 3 and 8.

Q:

Lethargic : Vital :: Trite : ?

A) Unique B) Slug
C) Lazy D) Skinny
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Unique

Explanation:

Lethargic means "sluggish", kind of inactive

Vital means full of energy, lively

So, they are antonyms.

So, for the 2nd part of the analogy, you are looking for a antonym to trite

Trite means lacking originality or freshness. Overused. Kind of like a cliche

So, an antonym could be original, unique, innovative.
