Ques:- Old Man Wrinkle Man Wrinkle spent 1/4th of his life as a boy, 1/8th as a youth, and 1/2 as an active man. If Man Wrinkle spent 8 years as an old man, then how many years did he spend as an active man?
Recent Answer : Added by Emad Samy On 2021-09-14 15:42:00:

32
Solution:

life as a boy = 1/4
life as a youth = 1/8
life as an active man = 1/2
sum of life as boy, youth and active man = 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/2 = 7/8
life as an old man = 1 − 7/8 = 1/8
1/8 Wrinkle’s life (as an old man) is 8 years.
and 1/2 = 1/8 *4
So, 1/2 Wrinkle’s Age (as active man) = 8*4 = 32years.

Ques:- Ajay and Vijay have some marbles with them. Ajay told Vijay “if you give me ‘x’ marbles, both of us will have equal number of marbles”. Vijay then told Ajay “if you give me twice as many marbles, I will have 30 more marbles than you would”. Find ‘x’?
Recent Answer : Added by Kristi Bardhan On 2022-09-02 17:04:00:

If Vijay gives ‘x’ marbles to Ajay then Vijay and Ajay would have V – x and A + x marbles.
V – x = A + x — (1)
If Ajay gives 2x marbles to Vijay then Ajay and Vijay would have A – 2x and V + 2x marbles.
V + 2x – (A – 2x) = 30 => V – A + 4x = 30 — (2)
From (1) we have V – A = 2x
Substituting V – A = 2x in (2)
6x = 30 => x = 5.

Let the no. of men (originally) be x.
x no. of men require 10 days.

if however there were 10 men less it will take 10 days more for the work to be finished. ——> means x-10 men require 10+10=20 days.

10x = 20 (x-10)
x = 2x -20 => x = 20.

Ques:- A man gets x/y of Rs.10 and y/x of Rs.10. He returns Rs.20. The Answer choices are a) He may not lose b) He may lose c) He always loses d) Cannot be Determined
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:02:08:

x and y can be equal to 1..
If so,then he gets 1/1 of Rs.10 which is equal to 10 and
again 1/1 of Rs.10=Rs.10..so,he gets total of 20..and
returns 20..so,no gain and no loss..
If x=1,y=2,he gets, 5+20=25..and returns 20..so he may not
lose..
So,whatever be the values of x and y,only these two answers
are possible..
so its a)He never loses..

Ques:- A boat running downstream covers a distance of 16 km in 2 hours while for covering the same distance upstream, it takes 4 hours. What is the speed of the boat in still water?
Recent Answer : Added by Anonymous On 2021-08-14 13:06:13:

Let:
1. speed of boat in still water = x
2. speed of stream = y;

Then net speed of boat upstream = x – y = 16km / 4 h = 4kmph
Net speed of boat downstream = x + y = 16 / 2 = 8kmph

Now solve for x to get x = 6kmph in still water.

Ques:- 3 runs required is 3 balls to win the match only on wicket left,the batsman is on 97 and runner on 98. how will both batsman score centuries as well as win the match?
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2022-09-27 18:46:51:

The batsman on 98 is on strike. He hits the ball and they run 3. UNFORTUNATELY one of the batsmen doesn`t turn correctly for one of the runs and the umpire calls ONE SHORT and awards only two runs. Therefore the first batsman has his century. There is now 1 ball remaining and one run is required to win. The batsman on strike, however is now the one on 97 runs. He now either hits a 4 or a 6. They win the game and both batsmen scored centuries.
