17

15

8

3

Ans.- D
If the number is x,
Then, x + 17 = 60/x
x2 + 17x - 60 = 0
(x + 20)(x - 3) = 0
x = 3, -20, so x = 3 (as 3 is positive)

Q5)-The sum of the ages of a father and son is 45 years. Five years ago, the product of their ages was four times the fathers age at that time. The present age of father and son

34,11

35,10

36,9

40,5

Ans.- C
Let sons age = x years. Then fathers age = (45 - x)years.
(x—5)(45—x—5) = 4(45- x - 5) hence (x—5) = 4 so x = 9
Their ages are 36 years and 9 years.

Q6)-Two students appeared at an examination. One of them secured 9 marks more than the other and his marks was 56% of the sum of their marks. The marks obtained by them are

42,30

42,31

42,32

42,33

Ans.- D
Let their marks be (x+9) and x.
Then, x+9 = 56/100(x + 9 +x)
=> 25(x+9)
=> 14 (2x + 9)
=> 3x = 99
=> x = 33.
So, their marks are 42 and 33

5

3

4

6

Ans.- A
P ÷ 44 = 432
=> P = 432 * 44 = 19008
P / 31 = 19008 / 31 = 613, remainder = 5

A:B:C =(3x*12):(5x*12):(5x*6)
= 36:60:30
= 6:10:5
