    Answer: Option D.
    Let the no. be x
    Given : 50x/100  = 2x/3 – 18
    ½ x – 2/3 x = - 18
    => x = 108.
  5. Running at the same constant rate, 6 identical machines can produce a total of 270 bottles per minute. At this rate, how many bottles could 10 such machines produce in 4 minutes?

    solving we get ,s = 5 km/hrs 
  7. Six years ago, the ratio of the ages of Kunal and Sagar was 6 : 5. Four years hence, the ratio of their ages will be 11:10. What is Sagar's present age?
    1. 16 years
    2. 18 years

    5.  25 years
    Answer: Option A.
    let the age of kunal and sagar be k and s  respectively
    Given : k - 6 / s -6 =6/5 => 5k -6s = -6..........(1)
    and : k+4 /s +4 = 11/10 =>10k - 11s =4..........(2)
    Solving (1)&(2)  we get s =16 years.
