1. The average age of P, Q, R, and S is 30 years. How old is R? I. The sum of ages of P and R is 60 years. II. S is 10 years younger than R.

A. I alone sufficient while II alone not sufficient to answer B. II alone sufficient while I alone not sufficient to answer C. Either I or II alone sufficient to answer D. Both I and II are not sufficient to answer

Answer: Option D
Explanation: P + Q + R + S = (30 x 4) P + Q + R + S = 120 .... (i) I. P + R = 60 .... (ii) II. S = (R - 10) .... (iii) From (i), (ii) and (iii), we cannot find R.
2. How many candidates were interviewed every day by panel A out of the three panels A, B, and C? I. The three panels on average interview 15 candidates every day. II.

A. I alone sufficient while II alone not sufficient to answer B. II alone sufficient while I alone not sufficient to answer C. Either I or II alone sufficient to answer D. Both I and II are not sufficient to answer

Answer: Option B
Explanation: I. Total candidates interviewed by 3 panels = (15 x 3) = 45. II. Let x candidates be interviewed by C. Number of candidates interviewed by A = (x + 2). Number of candidates interviewed by B = (x + 1). x + (x + 2) + (x + 1) = 45 3x = 42 x = 14

4. What is Arun's present age? I. Five years ago, Arun's age was double that of his son's age at that time. II. The present ages of Arun and his son are in the ratio of 11: 6 respectively. III. Five years hence, the respective ratio of Arun's age and his son's age will become 12: 7.

A. Only I and II B. Only II and III C. Only I and III D. Any two of the three

Answer: Option D
Explanation: II. Let the present ages of Arun and his son be 11x and 6x years respectively. I. 5 years ago, Arun's age = 2 x His son's age. III. 5 years hence, [latex]\frac{Arun's Age }{Son's age}[/latex] = [latex]\frac{12 }{7}[/latex] Clearly, any two of the above will give Arun's present age.
5. What is Ravi's present age? I. The present age of Ravi is half of that of his father. II. After 5 years, the ratio of Ravi's age to that of his father's age will be 6: 11. III. Ravi is 5 years younger than his brother.

A. I and II only B. II and III only C. I and III only D. All I, II and III

Answer: Option A
Explanation: I. Let Ravi's present age be x years. Then, his father's present age = 2x years. II. After 5 years [latex]\frac{Ravi's age }{Father's age }[/latex] = [latex]\frac{6}{11 }[/latex] III. Ravi is younger than his brother. From I and II, we get [latex]\frac{x + 5 }{2x + 5 }[/latex] = [latex]\frac{6}{11 }[/latex]
