A group of 1200 persons consisting of captains and soldiers is travelling in a train. For every 15 soldiers there is one captain. The number of captains in the group is ?

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the number of boys be x.
Then, 3/4 x = 18
=> x = 24

If total number of students is y, then
2/3 y = 24
=> y = 36

Number of girls in class = y - x
= 36 - 24 = 12

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let Sunita's present age = x years
Then Reena present age = 2x years

Three years ago
(2x-3) = 3(x-3)
2x - 3 = 3x - 9
or x = 6

Reena age = 2x = 2*6 = 12 year.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Suppose boy got x sums right and 2x sums wrong,
then,
x+2x = 48
=> 3x = 48
=> x = 16

Answer: Option B

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

As from the question we have,
A = 3B --- (i)
c - 4 = 2(A+4) ---(ii)

Also, A + 4 = 31
or A = 31-4 = 27

Putting A = 27 in (i) we get
B = 9
Putting A = 27 in (ii) we get
C = 50
