Question Detail

Sum of three numbers 264, If the first number be twice then second and third number be one third of the first, then the second number is

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let the second number is x, then first is 2x, and third is 1/3(2x)
\begin{aligned}
=>2x + x + \frac{2x}{3} = 264 <=> \frac{11x}{3} = 264
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
=> x = 72
\end{aligned}

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

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}

2. find the number, If 50 is subtracted from two-third of number, the result is equal to sum of 40 and one-fourth of that number.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the number is x,
\begin{aligned}
=> \frac{2}{3}x-50 = \frac{1}{4}x + 40
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
<=> \frac{2}{3}x-\frac{1}{4}x = 90
\end{aligned}
\begin{aligned}
<=> \frac{5x}{12} = 90
\end{aligned}
\begin{aligned}
<=> x = 216
\end{aligned}

3. Find the number which when multiplied by 15 is increased by 196

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let the number be x.
Then, 15x = x + 196
=› 14 x= 196
=› x = 14.

4. 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

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

5. If one third of one fourth of number is 15, then three tenth of number is

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let the number is x,
\begin{aligned}
\frac{1}{3} of\frac{1}{4} * x = 15
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
=> x = 15\times 12 = 180
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
=> so \frac{3}{10} \times x = \frac{3}{10} \times 180 = 54
\end{aligned}
