Answer: D) 14.5 Explanation: Let the present ages of Mahesh, Nilesh and Ramesh be k, l and m respectively.k/l = 5/x ------ (1)k = m - 18 ------ (2)m + 9 = 47 ------ (3)k - l = m ----- (4)(3) => m = 47 - 9 = 38 years(2) => k = 38 -18 = 20 years(1) => 20/l = 5/x => l = 4x(4) => 4x - 20 = 38=> 4x = 58 => x = 14.5

Answer: C) 47 Explanation: The next number in the series is 143 143 136 110       0    7      26 (Differences)  13 - 1 , 23 - 1, 33 - 1, 43 - 1,...Now the next number is given by110 - (43 - 1) = 110 - 63 = 47.

Answer: B) 13 + 1/3 days Explanation: C alone can finish the work in 40 days.As given C does half as much work as A and B together => (A + B) can do it in 20 days(A + B)s 1 days wok = 1/20.A's 1 days work : B's 1 days Work = 1/2 : 1 = 1:2(given)A's 1 day’s work = (1/20) x (1/3) = (1/60) [Divide 1/20 in the raio 1:2]B's 1 days work = (1/20) x (2/3) = 1/30(A+B+C)'s 1 day's work = (1/60) + (1/30) + (1/40) = 9/120 = 3/40 All the three together will finish it in 40/3 = 13 and 1/3 days.

Answer: C) 4 Explanation: Let the number of boys in the group originally be x.Total weight of the boys = 30xAfter the boy weighing 35 kg joins the group, total weight of boys = 30x + 35So 30x + 35 + 31(x + 1) = > x = 4.

Answer: B) 20th April, Saturday Explanation: Given Today is 20th January 2017, Sunday In january, we have 31 days February - 28 days (Non leap year) March - 31 days April - 30 days => Remaining days => 31 - 20 = 11 in Jan + 28 in Feb + 31 in Mar = 11 + 28 + 31 = 70 days More 20 days to complete 90 days => upto 20th April   Therefore, after 90 days from today i.e, 20th Jan 2017 is 20th Apr 2017.   Now, the day of the week will be  90/7 => Remainder '6' As the day starts with '0' on sunday  6 => Saturday.   Required day is 20th April, Saturday.

Answer: A) 3/91 Explanation: In a circle of n different persons, the total number of arrangements possible = (n - 1)!Total number of arrangements = n(S) = (15 – 1)! = 14 !Taking three persons as a unit, total persons = 13 (in 4 units)Therefore no. of ways for these 13 persons to around the circular table = (13 - 1)! = 12!In any given unit, 3 particular person can sit in 3!. Hence total number of ways that any three person can sit =n(E) = 12! X 3!Therefore P (E) = probability of three persons sitting together = n(E) / n(S) = 12! X 3 ! / 14!= 12!x3x2 / 14x13x12! = 6/14x13 = 3/91

Answer: A) 120 Explanation: 1/15 + 1/12 + 1/R = 1/6, we got R = 60 (it means R will take 60 days to complete the work alone) so ratio of work done by P:Q:R = 1/15 : 1/12 : 1/60 = 5 : 4 : 1 so R share = (1/10) x 1200 = 120.

Answer: B) A = 30000 B = 40000 C = 48000 Explanation: Compound ratio of A:B:CA:B = 3:4B:C = 5:6----------A:B:C = 15:20:24 We can divide Rs.118000 in this ratio. Share of A = 15/59 x 118000 = 30000 Share of B = 20/59 x 118000 = 40000 Share of C = 24/59 x 118000 = 48000
