16. Father is aged three times more than his son Ronit. After 8 years, he would be two and a half times of Ronit's age. After further 8 years, how many times would he be of Ronit's age?

2 times

5/2 times

11/4 times

1 times

Ans: Let Ronit's present age be x years. Then, father's present age =(x + 3x) years = 4x years. 
2(4x + 8) = 5(x + 8) 
8x + 16 = 5x + 40 
3x = 24 
x = 8. 
Hence, required ratio = (4x + 16)/(x + 16) = 48/24 = 2

17. The sum of ages of 5 children born at the intervals of 3 years each is 50 years. What is the age of the youngest child?

4 years

8 years

10 years

None of these

Ans: Let the ages of children be x, (x + 3), (x + 6), (x + 9) and (x + 12) years. Then, x + (x + 3) + (x + 6) + (x + 9) + (x + 12) = 50 5x = 20 x = 4. Age of the youngest child = x = 4 years.

18. A can do a work in 15 days and B in 20 days. If they work on it together for 4 days, then the fraction of the work that is left is :

1/4

1/10

7/15

8/15

Ans: A's 1 day's work = 1/15 
B's 1 day's work = 1/20
(A + B)'s 1 day's work = (1/15+1/16)=7/60  
(A + B)'s 4 day's work = (7/60)*4
Therefore, Remaining work = (1 -7/15) = 8/15

19. A, B and C can do a piece of work in 20, 30 and 60 days respectively. In how many days can A do the work if he is assisted by B and C on every third day?

12 days

16 days

18 days

20 days

Ans: A's 2 day's work = (1/20)*2
(A + B + C)'s 1 day's work = 1/20+1/30+1/60 = 6/60 = 1/10
Work done in 3 days = 1/10+1/10 = 1/5
1/5 work done in 3 days
Whole work will be done in (3 x 5) = 15 days.

20. A grocer has a sale of Rs. 6435, Rs. 6927, Rs. 6855, Rs. 7230 and Rs. 6562 for 5 consecutive months. How much sale must he have in the sixth month so that he gets an average sale of Rs. 6500?

Rs. 4991

Rs. 5991

Rs. 6001

Rs. 6991

Ans: Total sale for 5 months = Rs. (6435 + 6927 + 6855 + 7230 + 6562) = Rs. 34009. 
Required sale = Rs. [ (6500 x 6) - 34009 ] 
= Rs. (39000 - 34009) 
= Rs. 4991
