Question: 46 -

Ayush was born two years after his father's marriage. His mother is five years younger than his father but 20 years older than Ayush who is 10 years old. At what age did the father get married ?

Options:

  1. 35 years

  2. 25 years

  3. 23 years

  4. 33 years

    5. Answer:

    23 years
    Solution:

    Ayush's present age = 10 years.

    His mother's present age = (10 + 20) years = 30 years.

    Ayush's father's present age = (30 + 5) years = 35 years.

    Ayush's father's age at the time of Ayush's birth = (35 - 10) years = 25 years.

    Therefore Ayush's father's age at the time of marriage = (25 - 2) years = 23 years.

Question: 47 -

In a family, each daughter has the same number of brothers as she has sisters and each son has twice as many sisters as he has brothers. How many sons are there in the family ?

Options:

  2. 2

  3. 5

  4. 3

    5. Answer:

    3
    Solution:

    Let d and s represent the number of daughters and sons respectively.

    Then, we have :

    d - 1 = s and 2 (s - 1) = d.

    Solving these two equations, we get: d = 4, s = 3.
