Answer: B) 7.5 hrs Explanation: Let there are L men job requires LK man hours.   job completed in first 4 hrs = L x 4 = 4L job completed in next 4 hrs = 4 x L/2 = 2L job completed in next 4 hrs = 4 x L/4 = L job completed in last 4 hrs = 4 x L/8 = L/2 4L + 2L + L + L/2 = KL K = 7+1/2 = 7.5 hours.

Answer: C) 90 min Explanation: Let X = Time taken for each of Type B Problems(100 Problems)And 2X = Time taken for each of Type A problems(50 problems) Total time period = 3hrs = 3 x 60min = 180 minutes 100X + 50(2X) = 180100X + 100X = 180200X = 180 min X = 180/200X = 0.90 min By convertiing into seconds, X = 0.90 x 60 secondsX = 54 sec So, time taken for Part A problems is = 54 x 2 x 50 = 5400 seconds= 5400/60sec = 90 minutes.

On carefully inspecting this question, one can understand that there are two days which are important and these are: A. My Birthday. B. The day when I am making this statement. If you think for a while, you will understand that such statements can be made only around the year’s end. So, if my birthday is on 31 December, then I will be making this statement on 1 January. I will further explain using the following example: 1. Consider that today is 01 January 2017. 2. Then, the day before yesterday was 30 December 2016 and according to the question I was 25 then. 3. Yesterday was 31 December 2016, which happens to be my birthday too (Woohoo!), and my age increases by one to become 26. 4. I will turn 27 on my birthday this year (31 December 2017). 5. I will turn 28 on my birthday next year (31 December 2018). Now, if you read the question again, it will make more sense:   The day before yesterday(30 December 2016), I was 25 years old and next year(31 December 2018) I will be 28.

Answer: C) 35 and 11 years Explanation: Let the age of sushma be x and the age of her son is yThen five years before x-5=5(y-5) ...(1)Five years hence x+5 = 3(y+5)-8 .....(2) By soving (1) & (2), we get5y - 15 = 3y + 7y = 11 => x = 35 Therefore, the age of Sushma = 35 and her son = 11.
