Question Detail

find the number, difference between number and its 3/5 is 50.

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let the number = x,
Then, x-(3/5)x = 50,
=> (2/5)x = 50 => 2x = 50*5,
=> x = 125

1. The product of two numbers is 120 and the sum of their squares is 289. The sum of the number is

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

We know
\begin{aligned}
(x + y)^2 = x^2 + y^2 + 2xy
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
=> (x + y)^2 = 289 + 2(120)
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
=> (x + y) = \sqrt{529} = 23
\end{aligned}

2. Which among following is not a prime number ?

Answer: Option A

3. A father is twice as old as his son. 20 years ago, the age of the father was 12 times the age of the son. The present age of the father (in years) is

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let sons age = x. Then, fathers age = 2x.
12(x—2O) = (2x - 20) so x = 22
Fathers present age = 44 years

4. Sum of two numbers is 40 and their difference is 4. The ratio of the numbers is

10:3
5:9
11:9
13:9

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
=> \frac{(x+y)}{(x-y)} = \frac{40}{4}
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
=> (x+y)= 10(x-y)
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
=> 9x = 11y => \frac{x}{y} = \frac{11}{9}
\end{aligned}

5. Find the number, when 15 is subtracted from 7 times the number, the result is 10 more than twice of the number

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let the number be x.
7x -15 = 2x + 10 => 5x = 25 => x = 5
