Father is aged three times more than his son Ronit. After 8 years


Father is aged three times more than his son Ronit. After 8 years, he would be two and a half times of Ronit's age. After further 8 years, how many times would he be of Ronit's age?
A.2 timesB.
2 1times
2
C.
2 3times
4
D.3 times


Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Let Ronit's present age be x years. Then, father's present age =(x + 3x) years = 4x years.
(4x + 8) =5(x + 8)
2
 8x + 16 = 5x + 40
 3x = 24
 x = 8.
Hence, required ratio =(4x + 16)=48= 2

 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
