Answer : 2. "70 years"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 70 years Explanation: Let Kumar’s present age be "x" years and Sailesh’s present age be "y" years.Then, according to the first condition, x - 10 = 3(y - 10) => x - 3y = - 20 ........(1) Now, Kumar’s age after 10 years = (x + 10) years. Sailesh’s age after 10 years = (y + 10) years. (x + 10) = 2 (y + 10) => x - 2y = 10 ......(2) Solving (1) and (2), we get x = 70 and y = 30 Kumar’s present age = 70 years and Sailesh’s present age = 30 years.

Answer : 2. "1243"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 1243 Explanation: Given number sequence is 28, 16, 28, 76, 274 Here the sequence follows a pattern that 28 28 x 0.5 + 2 = 14 + 2 = 16 16 x 1.5 + 4 = 24 + 4 = 28 28 x 2.5 + 6 = 70 + 6 = 76 76 x 3.5 + 8 = 266 + 8 = 274 274 x 4.5 + 10 = 1233 + 10 = 1243 Hence, the next number in the given number sequence is 1243.

Answer : 4. "31"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 31 Explanation: Let y be the total number of loavesa be the remaining loaves after 1st thiefb be the remaining loaves after 2nd thiefand c, d..so on after 3 and 4 the = 0 be the remaining loaves after 5th thief a = y - (y/2 + 1/2)= y/2 - 1/2 b = a - (a/2 + 1/2)= a/2 - 1/2 c = b - (b/2 + 1/2)= b/2 - 1/2 d = c - (c/2 + 1/2)= c/2 - 1/2 e = d - (d/2 + 1/2)= d/2 - 1/2we know that, e = 0,thus by substitution, we getd = 1c = 3b = 7a = 15y = 31Therefore total number of bread loaves in bakery was 31.

Answer : 1. "45 metric tonnes"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 45 metric tonnes Explanation: 2 engines of former type for one hour consumes (2 x 24)/(6 x8) = 1 metric ton i.e. 3 engines of latter type consumes 1 ton for one hour Hence 9 engines consumes 3 tons for one hour For 15 hours it is 15 x 3 = 45 metric tonnes.

Answer : 4. "10 : 23 : 20 PM"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 10 : 23 : 20 PM Explanation: The watch gains 5 seconds in 3 minutes = 100 seconds in 1 hour. From 8 AM to 10 PM on the same day, time passed is 14 hours. In 14 hours, the watch would have gained 1400 seconds or 23 minutes 20 seconds. So, when the correct time is 10 PM, the watch would show 10 : 23 : 20 PM
