3. Reena is twice as old as Sunita. Three years ago, she was three times as old as Sunita. How old is Reena now ?
6 years
12 years
14 years
16 years
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.
4. In a class, there are 18 boys who are over 160 cm tall. If these constitute three-fourths of the boys and the total number of boys is two-thirds of the total number of students in the class, what is the number of girls in the class ?
10
12
14
18
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
5. First bunch of bananas has (1/4) again as many bananas as a second bunch. If the second bunch has 3 bananas less than the first bunch, then the number of bananas in the first bunch are
9
10
12
15
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Let the number of bananas in the second bunch be x.
Then, the number of bananas in the first bunch
= x + 1/4 x
= 5/4 x
So,
5/4 x - x = 3
=> 5x - 4x = 12
x = 12
