Solution:
Time = Distance / Speed
D/(12+4) + D/(12-4) = 6
D/16 + D/8 = 6
 D = 32 Km

Ques 2.

18, 96, 161, 213, 252, ?

Solution:
18+(13*6) = 96
96+(13*5) = 161
161+(13*4)= 213
213+(13*3)= 252
252+(13*2)= 278

Ques 3.

I.20x^2 – 31x + 12 = 0               II.20y^2 – y – 12 = 0

Solution:
20x^2 – 16x – 15x + 12 = 0
 X = 4/5 and 3/4

20y^2 –16y+15y– 12 = 0
Y = 4/5 and -3/4

x = y or the relationship cannot be established.

Ques 4.

6209 + 3284 + 1927 + 2147 + 3228 + 3047 =?

Solution:
Add 1000 place digits = 6+3+1+2+3+3 = 18
18*1000 = 18000

Add 100  Place digits = 2+2+9+1+2+0 = 16
16*100 = 1600

Add 10 place digits = 0+8+2+4+2+4= 20
20*10 = 200

Add 1 place digits = 9+4+7+7+8+7 = 42

Now add = 18000+1600+200+42 = 19842

Ques 5.

Kishore lent out Rs.9500 at 8% per annum for a year 2 years 6 months.At the end of the duration,what amount he earned ?

The ratio between the present age of P and Q is 7:4.The ratio between the age of P and Q four years ago is 2:1.What is the ratio age of P and Q four years hence

Solution:
Present age = 7:4 (difference 7-4=3)
4 years ago ratio = 2:1 (difference 2-1=1)

New Ratios:

Present age = 7:4 *1 = 7:4
4 years ago ratio = 2:1 *3 = 6:3

Difference between any person ratio = 1 units

Age difference = 4 years
P and Q  ages are 28 and 16
After 4 years Ratios = 32:20 = 8:5

a = side of the triangle
Perimeter = 3a
New perimeter = a*140/100 + a*130/100 + a*130/100
= a(14+13+13)/10 = 40a/10 = 4a
% increased in perimeter = (4a – 3a/3a)*100
= 100/3 = 33.33%
