c) 275.5 months
d) 175.5 months
Correct Option : D)
Explanation :
: Paddy ——- Jimmy —— I x —– 40 —— N >> when Paddy took to drink4x/3 ——
40+(x/3) —- M >>Now(N/2)+2= 40+(x/3) => N = 76+(2x/3) M=
76+(2x/3)+(x/3)=76+xSo total age=(4x/3) + 40 +(x/3) +76+x=1200 => 8x/3= 1200-
116=1084 x= 406.5 Jimmy is now= 40+135,5=175.5 months

8. Some guy holding a glass of wine in his hand looking around in the room says, "This
is same as it was four years ago, how old are your two kids now?" Other guy says "Three

b) 8,6,3
c) 7,6,2
d) 8,7,2
Correct Option : A)
Explanation :
the age of three kids is 8,6,2. Because the multiplication of three children is 96 and there
is no younger child before four years. the multiples of 96 are as follows:- 12,8,1; 16,6,1;
24,4,1; 8,6,2; 12,4,2; 8,4,3; 6,4,4; 8,3,4. from the statement “This is same as it was four
years ago, how old are your two kids now?”. we can conclude that 1)the two children
should be kids means not above 5 or 6 when he saw them before 4 years ago and 2)the
age of children should not be equal to 4 now because he had seen two kids b4r 4 years.
from all the above conclusions we can conclude that their ages is 8,6,2

Find the lightest & List the persons in ascending order according to their weights
a) A is the lightest
b) B is the lightest
c) C is the lightest
d) D is the lightest
Correct Option : A)
Explanation:
: A says B>D B says A>C C says C>D D says C>B
Since the person with lightest weight tells the truth C lies (If C tells the truth, then C is
not the lightest and then C lies) ===> D>C is the true statement.
So D is also not the lightest person and D lies. B>C So from A and B only one is telling
the truth and that is not B because B>C,
so B is not the lightestA is the lightest

18. There is log weighing 30kgs. The log having twice thickness and twice short as first
one will weigh howmuch ??
a) 100kg
b) 58kg
c) 59kg
d)60kg
Correct Option : D)

: let d be the diameter and h be the height of the first cylinder then 2d will be the diameter
and 1/2 h will be the height of the second cylinder volume of 1st cylinder= phi/4 d^2 h
volume of 2nd cylinder= phi/4 (2d)^2 (1/2h)= 1/2 phi (d)^2 h 1/4:1/2 the weight is 60
kg
19. John had decided to divide his RS.1000/- for his four childrenaccording to their

of their present age is 100 years, then the present age of Q?

b) 40
c) 30
d)20
Correct Option : B)
Explanation :
P Q Past x y Present 3y x The above stated ages are unnderstood if the question is clear
to you. Now, Sum of their present ages is 100 so,3y+x=100;And since equal no. of years
has passed between the Past and Present, so 3y-x=x-y;On solvinf these two equations
we getx=40, y=20. So present age of Q is 40(i.e. x) and P is 60(i.e. 3y).
