According to the question,
The present age of Romila is one-fourth of that of her father. After 6 years the father’s age will be twice the age of Kapil. If Kapil celebrated fifth birth day 8 years ago, What is Romils’s present age?
Present age of Kapil = 12 years
After 6 years,
Kapil'sage will be 18 years.
So, present age of Kapil's father=36-6=30
Hence, Romila's present age = 1/4 × 30 = 7.5 years
A person Invested equal amounts in two schemes A and B at the same rate of interest. Scheme A offers simple interest while scheme B offers compound interest. After two years he got Rs.1920 from scheme A as interest and Rs.2112 from scheme B. If the rate of interest is Increased by 4%. what will be the total interest after two years from both schemes?
C.I. – S.I.
= 2112 – 1920 = Rs.192
= 4800 [(1.24)2 - 1]
= 4800 (1.5376 – 1)
= 4600 × 0.5376 = Rs.2580.48
∴ Total interest = Rs. (2304 + 2580.48) = Rs.4884.48
A bag contains 4 green balls, 7 white balls and 5 red balls. A ball is drawn at random. Find the probability that it is not red.
Select 1 ball from green or white colour
Probability = [4C1 + 7C1] ÷ 16C1 = [4 + 7]÷ 16
= 11/16

x is greater than y by 24 and the respective ratio between x and y is 2 : 1. What is the sum of a third number z and x, if z is 1/6 of y?
A copper wire is bent in the form of an equilateral triangle of area 43 cm2. If the same wire is bent into the form of a square, the area of the square will be
Area of equilateral triangle = √3/4 a2 = 43
a2 = 16
a = 4 cm
Perimeter of equilateral triangle = 3 x 4 = 12 cm
Therefore, perimeter of Square = 4(side) = 12 cm
Side of square = 3 cm
Area of square = 3 x 3 = 9 sq cm.
