A father is now three times as old as his son. Five years back, he was four times as old as his son. The age of the son (in years) is
Answer: B
Let son's age be x years. Then, father's age = (3x) years.
Five years ago, father's age = (3x - 5) years and son's age = (x - 5) years.
So, 3x - 5 = 4 (x - 5)
\(\Rightarrow 3x - 5 = 4x - 20\)
\(\Rightarrow x = 15\)
In a class, there are 18 boys who are over 160 cm tall. If these constitute three-fourths of the boys and the total number of boys is two-thirds of the total number of students in the class, what is the number of girls in the class ?
Answer: B
Let the number of boys be x. Then, (3/4)x = 18 or x = 18 x(4/3) = 24.
If total number of students is y, then (2/3) y = 24 or y = 24 x (3/2) = 36.
Therefore Number of girls in the class = (36 - 24) = 12
