Calculation:
⇒ If 1000 divided by 112, the remainder is 104. ⇒ 112 – 104 = 8 ⇒ If 8 is added to 1000 it will become the smallest four-digit number and a multiple of 112. ⇒ 1000 + 8 = 1008 ∴ The required result will be 1008.

Let x be fathers present age and y be son present age.
5 yrs ago, the age of father and son be x-5 & y-5.
Then,
x-5+y-5=40
x+y-10=40
x+y=50
y=50-x ———–> (1)
ratio between father and son in present age
x:y=4:1
x/y=4/1
x=4y
Apply eq (1) ,
x=4(50-x)
x=200-4x
x+4x=200
5x=200
x=200/5
x=40,,
=> The present age of father is 40.

D. none
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:05:46:

5 litre jug contains 4 litres of salt water solution
with 15% of salt, that means it has 4000*.15 = 600 ml salt
in it.
If 1.5 litres solution is spills out, remaining solution
is 2.5 litres, then the salf content is 2500*.15 = 375ml.
Now, the jug is filled to full capacity with water i.e.,
now the jug has 5 litre solution in it.
Now, the salt content is 375/5000 = 7.5%
