- B. 23 years
- C. 28 years
- D. 21 years
Answer and solution
Answer: B
Let son's age = x, then Ramesh's age = 2x. So x + 2x = 54 → 3x = 54 → x = 18. Son's age after 5 years = 18 + 5 = 23 years.
Q9 · Simplification

- A. 70
- B. 75
- C. 80
- D. 85
Answer and solution
Answer: A
Calculate each part: (5/8 × 96) = 60, (3/4 × 80) = 60, (2/5 × 125) = 50. Then: 60 + 60 - 50 = 85. [Correction 2026-07-28: answer key corrected to A after student report + independent re-verification. Computing each fraction separately: (5/8)×96=60, (3/4)×80=60, (2/5)×125=50. Therefore 60+60-50=70, which matches option A.]

- A. ₹2,040
- B. ₹2,160
- C. ₹2,280
- D. ₹2,400
Answer and solution
Answer: B
Simple Interest = (P × R × T)/100 = (8000 × 9 × 3)/100 = 216000/100 = ₹2,160.
