Answer : 4. "None"
Explanation :

Answer: D) None Explanation: As given Kapil's 8th birthday was celebrated 2 years ago, Kapil’s present age = 8 + 2 = 10 years. Father's age is twice of Kapil’s age after 10 years. => F + 10 = 2 (K + 10) = 2 (10+ 10)F = 30years, Avanthi's age =1/6(F) = 30/6 = 5 years.

Answer : 3. "668, 4023"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 668, 4023 Explanation: Let the smaller number be k.Then, larger number = (3355 + k)Therefore 3355 + k = (6k + 15)‹=› 5k = 3340‹=› k = 668. Therefore, the smaller number k = 668 and now the larger number = 3355+668 = 4023.

Answer : 1. "12 days"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 12 days Explanation: It is given that efficiency ratio =3:1 so time ratio will be 1:3 (since work is same)   Also given that time diff = 32 days. ratio difference = 3-1 =2  2 ratio = 32 days 1 ratio = 16 days. So A will alone finish it in 16 days and B will finish it in 16*3 = 48 days.   Total work = LCM of 16 and 48 = 48. Total time = Total work/Total efficiency  ie; 48/4= 12 days.
