Answer : 2. "9 yrs"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 9 yrs Explanation: Let the present ages of A and B be 'x' and 'y' respectively From the given data,  [(x-2) + (y-2)]/2 = 26 => x+y = 56 But given the age of A, 5 years hence is 40 yrs => present age of A = 40 - 5 = 35 yrs => x = 35 => y = 56 - 35 = 21 => Age of B = 21 yrs Given B is 5 years younger to C, => Age of C = 21 + 5 = 26 yrs => Required Difference between ages of A and C = 35 - 26 = 9 yrs.

Answer : 2. "170 lit"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 170 lit Explanation: Given A alone can fill the tank of capacity 240 lit in 16 hrs. => A can fill in 1 hr = 240/16 = 15 lit => B alone can fill the tank of capacity 240 lit in 12 hrs. => B can fill in 1 hr = 240/12 = 20 lit Now, (A + B) in 1 hr = 15 + 20 = 35 lit But they are opened for 2 hrs => 2 x 35 = 70 lit rae filled Remaining water to be filled in tank of 240 lit = 240 - 70 = 170 lit.

Answer : 1. "12 days"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 12 days Explanation: It is given that efficiency ratio =3:1 so time ratio will be 1:3 (since work is same)   Also given that time diff = 32 days. ratio difference = 3-1 =2  2 ratio = 32 days 1 ratio = 16 days. So A will alone finish it in 16 days and B will finish it in 16*3 = 48 days.   Total work = LCM of 16 and 48 = 48. Total time = Total work/Total efficiency  ie; 48/4= 12 days.

Answer : 2. "60"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 60 Explanation: We know that, ● Each digit has a fixed position called its place. ● Each digit has a value depending on its place called the place value of the digit. ● The face value of a digit for any place in the given number is the value of the digit itself ● Place value of a digit = (face value of the digit) × (value of the place).   Hence, the place value of 6 in 64 = 6 x 10 = 60.
