Answer : 3. "3:2"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 3:2 Explanation: Let us assume S as number of shirts and T as number of trousersGiven that each trouser cost = Rs.70 and that of shirt = Rs.30Therefore, 70 T + 30 S = 810=> 7T + 3S = 81......(1)T = ( 81 - 3S )/7 We need to find the least value of S which will make (81 - 3S) divisible by 7 to get maximum value of TSimplifying by taking 3 as common factor i.e, 3(27-S) / 7In the above equation least value of S as 6 so that 27- 3S becomes divisible by 7 Hence T = (81-3xS)/7 = (81-3x6)/7 = 63/7 = 9 Hence for S, put T in eq(1), we getS = 81-7(9)/3 = 81-63 / 3 = 18/3 = 6.The ratio of T:S = 9:6 = 3:2.

Answer : 4. "35"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 35 Explanation: Given S = 17 yrs A = 16 yrs B = 12 yrs Average = 17 + 16 + 12/3 = 15 yrs Given if Aslam added to them, their average increases by 5 => Average of 4 members = 20 Let the age of Aslam be 'x' Then, 17 + 16 + 12 + x /4 = 20 => x = 80 - 45 => x = 35. Hence, the age of Aslam is 35 yrs.
