Q1. A man is 3 years older than his wife and four times as old as his son. If the son becomes 15 years old after 3 years, the present age of his wife is : Q1. A man is 3 years older than his wife and four times as old as his son. If the son becomes 15 years old after 3 years, the present age of his wife is :
(A) 60 years (A) 60 years
(B) 51 years (B) 51 years
(C) 48 years (C) 48 years
(D) 45 years (D) 45 years
Answer: (D) 45 years Answer: (D) 45 years
The son becomes 15 years old after 3 years.
Hence son's present age = 15 years - 3 years = 12 years
Man is four times as old as his son.
Hence Man's present age = 12 years * 4 = 48 years
Man is 3 years older than his wife.
Hence present age of his wife = 48 years - 3 years = 45 years.The son becomes 15 years old after 3 years.
Hence son's present age = 15 years - 3 years = 12 years
Man is four times as old as his son.
Hence Man's present age = 12 years * 4 = 48 years
Man is 3 years older than his wife.
Hence present age of his wife = 48 years - 3 years = 45 years.

Q9. If 20% of a is b, then b% of 20 is the same as : Q9. If 20% of a is b, then b% of 20 is the same as :
(A) 4% of a (A) 4% of a
(B) 8% of a (B) 8% of a
(C) 6% of a (C) 6% of a
(D) 10% of a (D) 10% of a
Answer: (A) 4% of a Answer: (A) 4% of a
20% of a is b
Hence b = 20% of a = 20a/100
b% of 20
= 20% of b
= (20/100) * 20a/100
= (20*20*a)/(100*100)
= 4a/100
= (4/100) * a
= 4% of a20% of a is b
Hence b = 20% of a = 20a/100
b% of 20
= 20% of b
= (20/100) * 20a/100
= (20*20*a)/(100*100)
= 4a/100
= (4/100) * a
= 4% of a
Q10. What is the term for a angle greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees? Q10. What is the term for a angle greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees?
(A) Acute angle (A) Acute angle
(B) Right angle (B) Right angle
(C) Obtuse angle (C) Obtuse angle
(D) Straight angle (D) Straight angle
Answer: (C) Obtuse angle Answer: (C) Obtuse angle
An obtuse angle is an angle greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees, like the angle formed by two walls that meet at a corner.An obtuse angle is an angle greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees, like the angle formed by two walls that meet at a corner.
