3. Reena is twice as old as Sunita. Three years ago, she was three times as old as Sunita. How old is Reena now ?

  • 6 years
  • 12 years
  • 14 years
  • 16 years

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let Sunita's present age = x years
Then Reena present age = 2x years

Three years ago
(2x-3) = 3(x-3)
2x - 3 = 3x - 9
or x = 6

Reena age = 2x = 2*6 = 12 year.

4. A is three times as old as B. C was twice-as old as A four years ago. In four years' time, A will be 31. What are the present ages of B and C ?

  • 9, 46
  • 9, 50
  • 10, 46
  • 10, 50

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

As from the question we have,
A = 3B --- (i)
c - 4 = 2(A+4) ---(ii)

Also, A + 4 = 31
or A = 31-4 = 27

Putting A = 27 in (i) we get
B = 9
Putting A = 27 in (ii) we get
C = 50

5. A, B, C and D play a game of cards. A says to B. "If I give you 8 cards, you will have as many as C has and I shall have 3 less than what C has. Also if I take 8 cards from C, I shall have twice as many as D has." If B and D together have 50 cards, how many cards have A got?

  • 35
  • 37
  • 38
  • 40

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

If we read given question carefully, we get,
B+8 = C ---(i)
A-8 = C-3 ---(ii)
A+6 = 2D ---(iii)
B+D = 50 ---(iv)

Putting C = A -5 from (ii) into (i), we have :
B+8 = A-5 or A-B = 13 ---(v)

Putting D = 50-B from (iv) and (iii), we have :

A+6 = 100-2B or A+2B = 94 ---(vi)

Solving (v) and (vi), we get
B = 27 and A = 40
