Answer :
Explanation :
Let the present age's of mother be 'M' and that of her son be 'S'. According to the given data in the question, M - 5 = 3(S - 5) F - 3S = -10 ...............(1) Then given , M + 5 : S + 5 = 11 : 5 => 5M - 11S = 30 ..............(2) From (1) & (2), we get S = 20 Then by substituting S = 20 in (1) or (2), we get M = 50. Hence, the present age of mother is M = 50 years.

Answer : 3. "200"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 200 Explanation: 18 tens 20 ones, the given stateent can be split into 18 tens = 18 x 10 = 180 20 ones = 20 x 1 = 20 Then add both => 180 + 20 = 200 Hence, 18 tens 20 ones = 200.

Answer : 3. "1/4"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 1/4 Explanation: Non collision can happen only when all the cars move in same direction. That is either all cars moving in clockwise direction or all cars moving in anti clockwise direction.P(all cars not colliding) = P(all cars moving in the same direction) = P(all cars moving in clockwise direction) + P(all cars moving in anticlockwise direction) = [p(A --> C) x p(C --> B) x p(B --> A)] + [p(A --> B) x p(B --> C) x p(C --> A)] = [1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2] + [1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2] = 1/8 + 1/8 = 1/4

Answer : 1. "36 & 90"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 36 & 90 Explanation: the next 2 number in series we need to divide the series into 2 different series First series : 4 , 6, 12, 30 ?? Second Series : 12,18,26, ?? So we need to see for the pattern for those series in order to find the next two number , we can do this by finding the difference or division , multiplication logic whatever may apply : Pattern of Series 1 : 6 divide 4 : 1.5 Next number i.e 12 divided by 6=2 Next number i.e 30 divided by 12 =2.5 So series is going in multiples of 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 , so on So first series will look like 4 , 6, 12, 30, 30x3 =90 Pattern of Series 2 : 12,18,26, ?? Its simple Adding numbers with iterative logic (i.e 6, 8, then followed by 10, 12) Series will be like 12,18,26,36. For the next two numbers : Series will be like 4, 12, 6, 18, 12, 26, 30, 36, 90
