The present ages of Lewis and Brown is 1:2. Three years from now their ages be in ratio 3:5. Find the age of Brown after 5years?

Solution!
Let
Brown=b
Lewis=l
Present ages be b/l=1:2
2l-b=0....eq(1)
After three years l+3/b+3=3:5
5l-3b=6
By resolving eq
b=12
l=6
After 5 years l= 11
b=17

Let's the age of daughter=x
age f son = x+3
age of father now=6x-1
condition:
M+0={(S+D)+ 10}+14]
6x-1=[{(x+3)+10}+14]
4x=28
x=7
Father's age=(6x-7)-1=41

If he packs 3, 4, 5 or 6 in a parcel, he is left with one over; if he packs 7 in a parcle, none is left over. What is the number of boxes, he may have to pack? #### Select the correct answer Solution! Clearly, the required number would be such that it leaves a remainder of 1 when divided by 3, 4, 5, or 6 and no remainder when divided by 7. Thus, the number must be of the form (L.C.M of 3, 4, 5, 6) x + 1 i.e., (60x + 1 ) and a multiple of 7. Clearly, for x = 5, the number is a multiple of 7. So the number is 301. . #### Question No 25 Find sequence. 10889,08891,88910,_,91088. #### Select the correct answer Solution! 1 digit left shift numbers.. #### Question No 26 On selling 17 balls at the rate$500 there is a loss equal to price of 5 balls .
