7. Eight years ago, Pranathi’s age was equal to the sum of the present ages of her one son and one daughter. Five years hence, the respective ratio between the ages of her daughter and her son that time will be 7:6. If Pranathi’s husband is 7 years elder to her and his present age is three times the present age of their son, what is the present age of the daughter?

A. 23 years

B. 27 years

C. 19 years

D. 15 years

Answer A: 23 years

Explanation:

P – 8 = S + D —(1)

6D + 30 = 7S + 35 —(2)

H = 7 + P

H = 3S

3S = 7 + P —-(3)

Solving equation (1),(2) and (3) D = 23

Therefore, the present age of the daughter is 23 years

8. A portion of $6600 is invested at a 5% annual return, while the remainder is invested at a 3% annual return. If the annual income from the portion earning a 5% return is twice that of the other portion, what is the total income from the two investments after one year?

A. 200

B. 270

C. 250

D. 280

Answer B: 270

Explanation:

According to the given data

5x + 3y = z (total)

x + y = 6600

5x= 2(3y) [ condition given] 5x – 6y = 0

x + y = 6600

5x -6y = 0

Subtract both equations and you get x = 3600 so y = 3000

3600*.05 = 180

3000*.03 = 90

z (total) = 270

Therefore, the total income from the two investments after one year = 270

A. 18.75

B. 10.75

C. 19.75

Explanation:

18 / 2 + 1 = 10

10 / 2 + 3 = 8

8 / 2 + 5 = 9

9 / 2 + 7 = 11.5

11.5 / 2 + 9 = 14.75

x = 28; 28 + 8 = 36

Son’s age = 1/6 * 36 = 6

Son’s age 4 year ago = 6-4 =2

A. 364

B. 482

C. 488

D. 362

Answer B: 482

Explanation:

15 * 2 + 2 = 32

32 * 2 – 4 = 60

60 * 2 + 2 = 122; 122 * 2 – 4 = 240

Then 240*2 + 2 = 482

16. 5 men and 10 boys can do a piece of work in 30 days and 8 men and 12 boys can do the work in 20 days then the ratio of daily work done by a man to that of a boy.

A. 5.1

B. 6:1

C. 7.3

D. 4.5

Answer B: 6:1

Explanation:

Given that, 5m + 10b = 1/30 and 8m + 12b = 1/20

after solving we get m = 1/200 and b = 1/1200

so required ratio = (1/200) : (1/1200) = 6:1

17. Nagarjuna lends Rs 30,000 of two of his friends. He gives Rs 15,000 to the first at 6% p.a. simple interest. He wants to make a profit of 10% on the whole. The simple interest rate at which he should lend the remaining sum of money to the second friend is

A. 15%

B. 8%

C. 16%

D. 14%

Answer D: 14%

Simple Interest on Rs 15000

=(15000×6×1)/100 = Rs. 900

Profit to made on Rs 30000

= 30000×10/100=Rs 3000

Simple Interest on Rs.15000 = 3000-900 = Rs.2100

Rate=(S.I.* 100)/(P * T)=(2100×100)/15000

=14% per annum

Therefore, the simple interest rate at which he should lend the remaining sum of money to the second friend is 14%
