Q 1 - The average age of a man and his son is 48 years. The ratio of their ages is 11:5 respectively. What will be ratio of their ages after 6 years
Answer : D
Explanation
Let the present ages of the man his son be 11x and 5x respectively. According to the question, 11x + 5x = 2*48 Or, 16x = 96 Or, x = 6 Therefore, present age of the man = (11*6) = 66 years Present age of the son = (5*6) = 30 years Hence required ration after 6 years = (66+6) : (30+6) = 72 : 36 = 2:1
Q 2 - The average age of 80 girls was 20 years, the average age of 20 of them was 22 years and that of another 20 was 24 years. Find the average age of the remaining girls.
Answer : A
Explanation
Total age of remaining 40 girls = (80*20 - 20*22 ? 20*24) = (1600-440-480) = 680 years Therefore average age for the 40 girls = 680/40 = 17 years
Q 3 - The ages of Arzoo and Arnav are in the ratio of 11:13 respectively. After 7 years the ratio of their ages will be 20:23. What is the difference in years between their ages?
Answer : C
Explanation
Let the present ages of Arzoo and Arnav be 11x and 13x respectively. According to the question, (11x + 7) / (13x + 7) = 20/23 Or, 26x + 140 = 253x + 161 Or, 260x - 253x = 161 - 140 Or, 7x = 21 Or, x = 3 Difference between their ages = 13x - 11x = 2x = 2*3 = 6 years

Q 16 - Aman can push at 5 km/hr in still Water. It the stream is running at 1km/hr, it takes him 75 min. to line to a spot and back. How far is the spot?
Answer : B
Explanation
Speed downstream = (5+1) km/hr=6 km/hr`Speed upstream = (5-1) km/hr=4 km/hr.`Let the required distance be x km. Then,`x/6+ x/4=75/60 = 5/4 => (2x+3x) =15 => 5x = 15 => x=3.`Required distance =3km.
Q 17 - In a waterway, a man takes 3 hours in paddling 3 km upstream or 15km downstream. What is the rate of the current?
Answer : A
Explanation
Speed upstream =3/3 km/hr =1 km/hr.`Speed downstream =15/3 km/hr=5 km/hr.`Speed of current =1/2 (5-1) km/hr =2 km/hr
Q 18 - A boat running upstream takes 8 hours 48min to cover a certain separation, while it takes 4 hour to cover the same separation running downstream. What is the proportion between the velocity of the vessel and the velocity of water flow respectively?
Answer : C
Explanation
Let the speed of boat be x km /hr and speed of stream be y km/hr.`44/5 * (x-y) = 4 * (x+y) => 44(x-y) =20 (x+y) => 11 (x-y) = 5(x+y) => 6x=16y`=> x/y= 16/6 = 8/3 => x: y = 8:3.
Q 19 - A vessel goes 6 km in an hour in still water. It requires thrice as much investment in covering the same separation against the current. Velocity of the current is:
Answer : C
Explanation
Speed in still water =6 km/hr.`Speed against the current =6/3 km/hr =2 km/hr`Let the speed of the current be x km/hr`6-x = 2 => x = 4 km/hr.
Q 20 - A vessel goes 6 km in an hour in still water. It requires thrice as much investment in covering the same separation against the current. Velocity of the current is:
Answer : B
Explanation
Let the speed of the steamer in still water be x km/hr.`Speed downstream = (x +2) km/hr, speed upstream = (x-2) km/hr.`Then 4 (x+2) = 5 (x-2) => x = 18.`Hence, the speed of the streamer in still water is 18 km/hr.
Q 21 - A boat goes 24km upstream and 28 km downstream in 6 hours. It goes 30km upstream and 21km downstream in 6 hours and 30 min. The rate of the vessel in still water is:
Answer : C
Explanation
Let the speed of the boat in still water be x km/hr and the speed of the stream be y km/hr.`Then, Speed upstream = (x-y) km/hr, Speed downstream = (x+y) km/hr`24/(x-y) + 28/ (x + y) = 6 => 24a + 28b = 6, where x-y = 1/a and x + y = 1/b`=>12a + 14 b = 3`30/ (x-y) + 21/ (x+y) = 13/2 => 60a + 42 b = 13`On solving (i) and (ii), we get: 28b =2 => b = 1/14 and a = 1/6`∴ (x-y=6 and x+y = 14) => x = 10, y=4.`Speed of the boat in still water=10 km/hr
Q 22 - A motor boat in still water travels at a speed of 36 kmph. It goes 36 km upstream in 1 hr 45 mins. The time taken by it to cover the same distance downstream will be
Answer : C
Explanation
Upstream Speed of motor boat = 56/1 hr 45 min = 32 kmph`Speed of the motor boat in still water = 36 kmph`Speed of the boat in still water = 1/2*(Downstream Speed + Upstream Speed)`36 = 1/2(d + 32)`Downstream Speed (d) = 40 km/hr``t = Distance/speed = 40/36 = 7/5 hr = 1 hr 24 mins
