Puzzle Question 6 Detailed Solution

Download Solution PDF

Let my current age = x years and my cousin’s age = y years.

Three-fifths of my current age is the same as five-sixths of that of one of my cousins’,

⇒ 3x/5 = 5y/6

⇒ 18x = 25y

My age ten years ago will be his age four years hence,

⇒ x – 10 = y + 4

⇒ y = x – 14,

⇒ 18x = 25(x – 14)

⇒ 18x = 25x – 350

⇒ 7x = 350

∴ x = 50 years

Mohit and Sudesh bought pens and notebooks from the same shop. Mohit bought 3 pens and 6 notebooks by paying an amount of Rs. 180. Sudesh bought 5 pens and 2 notebooks by paying an amount of Rs. 116. How much did Mohit spend on buying notebooks? 

  1. Rs. 84
  2. Rs. 115
  3. Rs. 138
  4. Rs. 122

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 3 : Rs. 138

Puzzle Question 7 Detailed Solution

Download Solution PDF

Let,

Price of one pen = x

Price of one notebook = y

Given:

1) Mohit bought 3 pens and 6 notebooks by paying an amount of Rs. 180

=> 3x + 6y = 180

=> 3x = 180 – 6y

=> x = (180 – 6y) ÷ 3

=> x = 60 – 2y --------------- (i)

2) Sudesh bought 5 pens and 2 notebooks by paying an amount of Rs. 116

=> 5x + 2y = 116

Putting the value of x from eq (i)

=> 5(60 – 2y) + 2y = 116

=> 300 – 10y + 2y = 116

=> 300 – 116 = 10y – 2y

=> 8y = 184

=> y = 23

Mohit spend on buying 6 notebooks

=> 6y = 6 × 23 = 138

Hence, Mohit spend Rs. 138” on buying notebooks.

After interchanging the given two numbers and two signs what will be the values of equation (I) and (II) respectively?

Puzzle Question 8 Detailed Solution

Download Solution PDF

BODMAS

According to the question, after interchanging the given two signs and two numbers i.e :

  • × and +
  • Two numbers 3 and 9

So,

I. 7 + 3 – 8 ÷ 2 × 9

⇒ 7 + 3 - × 9

⇒ 7 + 3 - 36

10 - 36

⇒ -26

II. 4 + 3 – 9 × 8 ÷ 2

⇒ 4 + 3 - 9 × 4

4 + 3 - 36

7 - 36

⇒ -29

Here, values of equation (I) and (II)  are (-26) and (-29) respectively.

Hence, "Option - (2)" is the correct answer.

Ages of father and son add up to 50. Six years back father's age was 6 more than thrice his son's age. What will be the father's age 6 years hence?

  1. 40 years
  2. 42 years
  3. 50 years
  4. 48 years

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 2 : 42 years

Puzzle Question 9 Detailed Solution

Download Solution PDF

Let the age of father be F and that of son be S.

F + S = 50 (Given)

S = 50 – F     _____ (i)

Six years back father's age was 6 more than thrice his son's age.

According to problem:

(F – 6) = 3(S – 6) + 6     _____ (ii)

Substituting the value of equation (i) in (ii), we get:

F – 6 = 3(50 – F – 6) + 6

⇒ F – 6 = 3(44 – F) + 6

⇒ F – 6 = 132 – 3F + 6

⇒ F + 3F = 132 + 6 + 6

⇒ 4F = 144

⇒ F = 144/4

⇒ F = 36

So, father's age 6 years hence = (36 + 6) = 42

Hence, ‘42’ is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

1) 15 → 12 + 3 = 15 kg

2) 20 → 12 + 8 = 20 kg

4) 21 → It CANNOT be the total weight, in kg, of any combination of these boxes.

Hence, ‘21’ is the correct answer.

In a group of bulls and hens, the number of legs is 48 more than twice the number of heads. The number of bulls is ________.

  1. 50
  2. 48
  3. 26
  4. 24

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 4 : 24

Puzzle Question 11 Detailed Solution

Download Solution PDF

Let the number of bulls be ‘a’ and the number of hens be ‘b’.

So, the total numbers of heads are (a + b) and total numbers of legs are (4a + 2b).

According to question:

(4a + 2b) = 2(a + b) + 48

4a + 2b = 2a + 2b + 48

4a + 2b – 2a – 2b = 48

2a = 48

a = 24

So, the number of bulls is 24.

Hence, ‘24’ is the correct answer.

Puzzle Question 12 Detailed Solution

Download Solution PDF

Given:

A side of a square-shaped park is 12 m.

  • If a square-shaped garden with a side of 24 m is developed around the park, then the garden with the park will look like the picture below:

F1 Savita SSC 9-6-22 D23

Formula:

Area of square = Side × Side

Calculation:

=> Total area of the park including the garden = Area of the outer square = 24 × 24

=> Area of square = 576 m2

Hence, the total area of the park including the garden is 576 m2.

  1. 30 years
  2. 29 years
  3. 28 years

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 3 : 28 years

Puzzle Question 13 Detailed Solution

Download Solution PDF

Let the present age of Anamika be A, Malini be M and that of Srinidhi be S.

The, according to the question:

1) Seven years from now, Anamika will be as old as Malini was 4 years ago. 

A + 7 = M - 4

⇒ M = A + 11

S = 2 years

And, 

2) Srinidhi was born 2 years ago. The average age of Anamika, Malini and Srinidhi 10 years from now will be 33 years.

\({(A + 10 + M + 10 + S + 10) \over 3} = 33 \)

\(A + M + S + 30 = 33 \times 3\)

A + M + S = 99 - 30

A + M + S = 69 

Now, by substituting the above values,

A + (A + 11) + 2 = 69 

2A + 13 = 69

A = 56 ÷ 2

A = 28 years

Hence, the present age of Anamika is 28 years is the correct answer.

BODMAS Table: 

qImage14137

Given equation I: 55 + 42 – 36 × 20 ÷ 9 = 17

Now, if '20 and 36' are interchanged, then:

⇒ 55 + 42 – 20 × 36 ÷ 9 = 17

⇒ 55 + 42 – 20 × 4 = 17

⇒ 55 + 42 – 80 = 17

97 – 80 = 17

17 = 17.

LHS = RHS.

Given equation II: 20 ÷ 2 × 36 + 81 – 41 = 400

Now, if '20 and 36' are interchanged, then:

36 ÷ 2 × 20 + 81 – 41 = 400

18 × 20 + 81 – 41 = 400

⇒ 360 + 81 – 41 = 400

⇒ 441 – 41 = 400

400 = 400

LHS = RHS.

Here, Both I and II are correct equation after interchanging the given symbol.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
