    Let the age of the class teacher = ‘y’ years
    Age of principal = ‘y+10’ years
    612+y+y+10 = 722

    Ratio of their profits = 5x+5x+6y : 2x+2x+11y : 7x+7x+17y
    = 10x+6y : 4x+11y : 14x+17y
    Profit share of C = (14x+17y)/(28x+34y)*3360 = Rs.1680

  5. Upstream speed of the boat is 20% less than the downstream speed of the boat. If the boat can cover 90 km in still water in 4 hours, find the time taken by the boat to cover 120 km upstream and 125 km downstream.
    8 hours
    11 hours
    10 hours
    12 hours
    9 hours
    Option B
    Speed of the boat in still water = 90/4 = 22.5 km/hr.
    Let the speed of the stream be x km/hr.
    Now, 0.80*(22.5+x) = 22.5 – x
    => x = 2.5
    Upstream speed of the boat = 22.5 – 2.5 = 20 km/hr.
    Downstream speed of the boat = 22.5 + 2.5 = 25 km/hr.
    Time taken by the boat = 120/20 + 125/25 = 11 hours

    Option D
    Let the CP of the article be x.
    MP = 1.45x
    SP of the article if sold after a discount of 20% = 1.45x * 0.80 = Rs.1.16x
    SP of the article if sold after a discount of 15% = 1.45x * 0.85 = Rs.1.2325x
    Now, 1.2325x – 1.16x = 899

    120 litres
    100 litres
    Option D
    Initial ratio = 180:30 = 6:1
    7x litres of mixture contains 6x litres of milk and x litres of water.
    (180-6x)/(30 –x + 52) = 5/3
    => x = 10
    Quantity of milk present in the vessel = 180 – 6*10 = 180 – 60 = 120 litres

    5 km
    6 km
    8 km
    Option D
    Average speed = (2×3×2)/(2+3) = 12/5 km/hr
    Total time taken = 5 hours
    Distance travelled = 12/5 × 5 = 12 km
    Therefore, distance between his house and office = 12/2 = 6 km
