Answer : 2. "4 yrs"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 4 yrs Explanation: Let the present age of Deepa = 5p Let the present age of Hyma = 6p After four years their ratio = 6 : 7 => 5p + 46p + 4 = 67 => 35p + 28 = 36p + 24 => p = 4 Therefore, the difference between their ages = 24 - 20 = 4 years.

Answer :
Explanation :

We can make an equation: 3(100000 + x) = 10x+1 (Why? Well, adding 100000 puts a 1 at the front of a five-digit number, and multiplying by 10 and adding 1 puts a 1 at the end of a number) Solving this gives: 10x+1 = 3(100000 + x) 10x+1 = 300000 + 3x 10x = 299999 + 3x7x = 299999x = 299999/7 = 42857 The answer is 42857 (142857 is three times smaller than 428571).

Answer : 4. "60/11"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 60/11 Explanation: A can complete the work in 12 days working 8 hours a day => Number of hours A can complete the work = 12×8 = 96 hours  => Work done by A in 1 hour = 1/96   B can complete the work in 8 days working 10 hours a day => Number of hours B can complete the work = 8×10 = 80 hours  => Work done by B in 1 hour = 1/80   Work done by A and B in 1 hour = 1/96 + 1/80 = 11/480  => A and B can complete the work in 480/11 hours   A and B works 8 hours a day. Hence total days to complete the work with A and B working together  = (480/11)/ (8) = 60/11 days
