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

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}

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

If the number is x,

Then, x + 17 = 60/x

x2 + 17x - 60 = 0

(x + 20)(x - 3) = 0

x = 3, -20, so x = 3 (as 3 is positive)

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}

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}
