Answer : 1. "99"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 99 Explanation: Let, Distance between A and B = d   Distance travelled by P while it meets Q = d + 11   Distance travelled by Q while it meets P = d – 11   Distance travelled by Q while it meets R = d + 9   Distance travelled by R while it meets Q = d – 9   Here the ratio of speeds of P & Q => SP : SQ = d + 11 : d – 11   The ratio of speeds of Q & R => SQ : SR = d + 9 : d – 9   But given Ratio of speeds of P & R => P : R = 3 : 2  SPSR = SPSQxSQSR = d+11d+9d-11d-9   => d+11d+9d-11d-9 = 3/2   =>  d = 1, 99   => d = 99 satisfies.   Therefore, Distance between A and B = 99

Answer : 2. "8"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 8 Explanation: Two digit numbers: The two digits can be 2 and 9: Two possibilities 29 and 92.Three-digit numbers: The three digits can be 1, 2 and 9 => 3! Or 6 possibilities.We cannot have three digits as (3, 3, 2) as the digits have to be distinct.We cannot have numbers with 4 digits or more without repeating the digits.So, there are totally 8 numbers.

Q: The average age of A and B, 2 years ago was 26. If the age of A, 5 years hence is 40 yrs, and B is 5 years younger to C, then find the difference between the age of A and C? 2186 0

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. "3.5 years"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 3.5 years Explanation: Given that Rs. 1860 will become Rs. 2641.20 at 12% => Simple Interest = 2641.20 - 1860 = Rs. 781.20 We know I = PTR/100 => 781.20 x 100 = 1860 x T x 12 => T = 78120/1860x12 => T = 78120/22320 => T = 3.5 years.
