30 years
38 years
44 years
42 years
None of these
Answer : Option D.
Total sum of man's age & his son's age =28 A— 2 = 56

Therefore, Man's age = (3/4) A— 56 = 42
So, the correct answer is option D.
A car manufacturing plant manufactures 96 dozen cars in eight days. How many dozen cars will the plant manufacture in 17 day ?
210
224
204
209
None of these
Answer : Option C.
The plant manufactures 96 dozen cars in 8 days

A & B together can complete a piece of work in 16 days, B alone can complete the same work in 24 days. In how many days can A alone complete the same work ?
34 days
50 days
48 days
42 days
None of these
Answer : Option C.
Let A alone can complete the work in x days and B alone can complete the work in 24days.
Therefore, according to the given conditions,
1/x + 1/24 = 1/16
1/x = 1/48
So, A's one day work is 1/48 which means that A will complete the entire work in 48days.
Therefore, the answer is option C.

The average of four consecutive odd numbers P, Q, R and S respectively (in increasing order) is 104. What is the sum of P & S?
204
208
206
212
None of these
Answer : Option B.
Let the four consecutive odd numbers P, Q, R and S be X, X+2, X+4 and X+6 respectively.
So, average = X+3 =104
=> X = 101
So P = 101 & S = 107
And Sum of S and P will be 208.
Hence, the answer is option B.
Number of students institute A & B were in the ration of 7: 15 respectively in 2012. In 2013 the no. of students in institute A increased by 25% and the no. of institute B institute B increased by 26%, then what was the respective ratio between no. of students in institutes A & B respectively in 2013?
25:56
24:55
24:53
25:53
25:54
Answer : Option E.
Let the students in institute A and B 7x,15x
In 2013
Students in A = 5/4(7x)=35x/4
Students in B = 126/100(15x)
Required. Ratio = (35x)100/4(126)(15x) = 25/54
Hence , Option 5
An employer pays Rs.26/- for each day a worker works and forfeits Rs. 7/- for each day he is idle. All the end of 56 days. If the worker got Rs. 829/- for how many days did the worker remains idle?
