A man is 24 years older than his son. In two years, his age will be twice the age of his son. The present age of his son is:
A.14 yearsB.18 years
C.20 yearsD.22 years

Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Let the son's present age be x years. Then, man's present age = (x + 24) years.
 (x + 24) + 2 = 2(x + 2)
 x + 26 = 2x + 4
 x = 22.

 It takes 10 days for digging a trench of 100 m long, 50 m broad and 10 m deep.  What length of trench, 25 m broad and 15 m deep can be dug in 30 days ?       a) 400 m          b) 200 m          c) 100 m          d) 89m Expl : More days, more length (Direct)       Less breadth, more length (Indirect)       More depth, less length (Indirect       Days      10 : 30;       Breadth  25 : 50;                  : : 100 : x       Depth    15 : 10;                     :. 10 * 25* 15 * x = 30 *50 * 10 *100             x= (30*50*10*100)/10*25*15 = 400      So the required length = 400m
