    • A. 51
    • B. 52
    • C. 53
    • D. 57

  3. Q3 · Ratio and Proportion

    The ratio of ages of A and B is 5:7. After 6 years, the ratio will become 3:4. What is the present age of A?

    • A. 30 years
    • B. 25 years
    • C. 28 years
    • D. 35 years
    Answer and solution

    Answer: A

    Let present ages be 5x and 7x. After 6 years: (5x+6)/(7x+6) = 3/4. Cross-multiplying: 20x + 24 = 21x + 18, so x = 6. A's present age = 5×6 = 30 years.

  4. Q4 · Average

    The average of five numbers is 48. If one number is excluded, the average becomes 45. What is the excluded number?

    • C. 63
    • D. 58
    Answer and solution

    Answer: B

    Total of five numbers = 48×5 = 240. Total of four numbers = 45×4 = 180. Excluded number = 240 – 180 = 60.
