  • 15. Sum of two numbers is 25 and their difference is 13. Find their product.

    1. 104
    2. 108
    3. 114
    4. 124
    Answer And Explanation

    Answer: Option C

    Explanation:

    Friends, this sort of question is quite important in competitive exams, whenever any question come which have relation between sum, product and difference, this formula do the magic:
    \begin{aligned}
    => (x+y)^2 = (x-y)^2 + 4xy
    \end{aligned}

    \begin{aligned}
    <=> (25)^2 = (13)^2 + 4xy
    \end{aligned}

    \begin{aligned}
    <=> 4xy = (25)^2 - (13)^2
    \end{aligned}
    \begin{aligned}
    <=> xy = \frac{456}{4} = 114
    \end{aligned}

  • 16. Sum of two numbers is 40 and their difference is 4. The ratio of the numbers is

    1. 10:3
    2. 5:9
    3. 11:9
    4. 13:9
    Answer And Explanation

    Answer: Option C

    Explanation:

    \begin{aligned}
    => \frac{(x+y)}{(x-y)} = \frac{40}{4}
    \end{aligned}

    \begin{aligned}
    => (x+y)= 10(x-y)
    \end{aligned}

    \begin{aligned}
    => 9x = 11y => \frac{x}{y} = \frac{11}{9}
    \end{aligned}

  • 17. Two numbers differ by 5. If their product is 336, then sum of two number is

    1. 33
    2. 34
    3. 36
    4. 37
    Answer And Explanation

    Answer: Option D

    Explanation:

    Friends you remember,
    \begin{aligned}
    => (x+y)^2 = (x-y)^2 + 4xy
    \end{aligned}

    \begin{aligned}
    => (x+y)^2 = (5)^2 + 4(336)
    \end{aligned}

    \begin{aligned}
    => (x+y) = \sqrt{1369} = 37
    \end{aligned}

  • 18. Difference between a two-digit number and the number obtained by interchanging the two digits is 36, what is the difference between two numbers

    1. 2
    2. 4
    3. 8
    4. 12
    Answer And Explanation

    Answer: Option B

    Explanation:

    Let the ten digit be x, unit digit is y.
    Then (10x + y) - (10y + x) = 36
    => 9x - 9y = 36
    => x - y = 4.

  • 19. A father is twice as old as his son. 20 years ago, the age of the father was 12 times the age of the son. The present age of the father (in years) is

    1. 11
    2. 22
    3. 44
    4. 33
    Answer And Explanation

    Answer: Option C

    Explanation:

    Let sons age = x. Then, fathers age = 2x.
    12(x—2O) = (2x - 20) so x = 22
    Fathers present age = 44 years
