Answer: Option A

Explanation:

"All but 10 died" means all except 10 died, so he is remained with 10 sheep.

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

If we read given question carefully, we get,
B+8 = C ---(i)
A-8 = C-3 ---(ii)
A+6 = 2D ---(iii)
B+D = 50 ---(iv)

Putting C = A -5 from (ii) into (i), we have :
B+8 = A-5 or A-B = 13 ---(v)

Putting D = 50-B from (iv) and (iii), we have :

A+6 = 100-2B or A+2B = 94 ---(vi)

Solving (v) and (vi), we get
B = 27 and A = 40

Answer: Option D

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let son's age be x then father's age is 3x
Five years ago, father's age = 3x-5 and son's age x-5
So, 3x-5 = 4(x-5)
=> 3x-5 = 4x-20
=> x = 15
