    7. 6 years ago Father’s age was 18 years more than the son’s age then. If the sum of their present ages is 30 what was the age of father 6 years ago?

    1) 14

    2) 22

    3) 18

    4) 20

    Answer: 3

    Solution: Let father present age is X, Then present age of son will be (30-X).

    Father’s age 6 years ago

    (X-6)= (30-X-6)+18

    X-6=42-X

    2X= 48

    X= 24

    Therefore, Father’s present age is 24 years. 6 years ago his age was 24-6 = 18years.

    18. 6 years ago Father’s age was 18 years more than the son’s age then. If the sum of their present ages is 30 what was the age of father 6 years ago?

    1) 14

    2) 22

    3) 18

    4) 20

    Answer: 3

    Solution: Let father present age is X, Then present age of son will be (30-X).

    Father’s age 6 years ago

    (X-6)= (30-X-6)+18

    X-6=42-X

    2X= 48

    X= 24

    Therefore, Father’s present age is 24 years. 6 years ago his age was 24-6 = 18years.

    19. 4 years ago Sandeep age was 12 years more than the Sravani’s age then. If the sum of their present ages is 30 what was the age of Sravani 4 years ago?

    1) 9

    2) 12

    3) 15

    4) 11

    Answer:1

    Solution:

    Let Sandeep present age is X, Then present age of sravani will be (30-X).

    Sandeep’s age 4 years ago

    (X-4)= (30-X-4)+12

    X-4=38-X

    2X= 42

    X= 21

    Therefore, Sandeep’s present age is 21 years. Sravani’s present age will be 30-X = 30-21= 9 years

    20. 10 years ago Suhasini age was 8 years more than the Ramya’s age then. If the sum of their present ages is 36 what was the age of Suhasini 5 years ago?

    1) 9

    2) 17

    3) 15

    4)

    4)11

    Answer: 2

    Solution: Let Suhasini’s present age is X , then Ramya’s present age will be (36-X)

    Suhasini age 10 years ago

    (X-10)= (36-X-10)+8

    X-10 = 34-X

    2X=44

    X=22

    So , Suhasini present age is 22 and hence 5 years ago her age will be 22-5=17 years.

    Directions(26-27): Each of the questions below consists of a question and three statements numbered I, II,III given below it . You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question.
    26.
    What is the labelled price of the book ?

    I. Cost price of the book is 500

    II. Selling price of the book after offering 5% discount on the labelled price is Rs. 608

    III. Profit earned would have been 12 % if no discount was offered

    a) Only I b) Only II c) All I,II,III are required d) Cannot be answered even with all I,II,III

    Solution:

    Step 1 : Check 1st statement.

    Cost price of the book is given as 500 which is alone not useful in finding labelled price.

    Step 2: Check 2nd statement

    A hint on labelled price is given i .e labelled price - 5 % of labelled price = 608

    So ,

    95 % of labelled price = 608 then

    100 % = ?

    → 100 / 95 X 608

    = 640. So statement II alone is sufficient to answer the given question

    You can now straight away tick the answer as option b without checking statement III.

    27.
    What is Ramya's share in the profit earned at the end of 2 years in a joint business run by Ramya, Nidhi and Suhasini ?

    I. Ramya invested Rs 85,00 to start the business

    II. Nidhi and Suhasini joined Ramya's business after six months investing amounts in the ratio of 3:5 respectively

    III. Total amount invested by Nidhi and Sushasini is 2.3 lakhs.

    a) Only II b) Only either II or III c) Only III d) Information in all three statements is required for answering the question

    Solution:
    Step 1 : check 1st statement

    85,000 investment is the only information. Which alone is not useful in determining question

    Step 2: Check 2nd statement

    Nidhi and Sushasini investment in 3:5 ratio after 6 mix months alone does not help in determining Ramya's share in profit as amount invested by them is not given


    Step 3 : Check 3rd statement

    Total amount invested by Nidhi and Suhasini is given as 2.5 laksh's . However this alone cannot help us in determining Ramya's share in profit.

    Step 4: Check all the 3 statements and see if by combining the information given in them is useful in determining the answer

    Nidhi investment = 3 / 8 X 2.5 lakhs

    = 93750

    Suhasini investment = 5/8 X 2.5 lakhs

    =156250.

    Now there investments share ratio is 85,00 ( Ramya) : 93,750( Nidhi) : 1,56,250 ( Suhasini)

    So , after 2 years there profit share would be in the ratio of

    85,000 X 24 : 93,750 X 18 : 1,56,250 X 18

    24 , 18 are → Number of months Ramaya, Nidhi and Sushasini have been in business

    So. By using information from all three statements we could be able to find out Ramya's share in profit. Hence tick the answer as option d .
