If c is 5 times faster than a then he can do it in 2 days alone.
Fathers before age=3*before sons age—-(1)
After 2.5 years..
Fathers before age+2.5 years =2.5*sons age—-(2)
Substitute (1) in (2),
3*sons before age+2.5 years=2.5*sons age
0.5*sons age=2.5 years
Sons before age=5years
So current age after 2.5 years,
Sons before age+2.5 =5+2.5=7.5 years
Dear friends i ofcourse confused like you when i come
across to solve this problem. Really friends its very
simple if you understand the question clearly. First thing
is what is mean by “as many as” means its called ‘idiom and
phrase’ in english and it means “the same number of”. now
read the question “how many pairs of letters in STAINLESS
which has same number of letters between them in the word
as they have in english alphabet”.
In the alphabetical order, A-Z can be numbered as 1-26.
In A(INL)E which is same as in the alphabetical order A
(BCD)E. In both the cases E is in the Fourth position. so
we got one pair.
And in ST, there are no letters between them in the word
stainless. In alphabetical orer from A-Z also there is no
letters between them..so we got the second pair…
In STAINLESS it has two pairs ST and AE
385, 462, 572, 396, 427, 671, 264
427 is the answer
Because
385 means (3+5=8) or (8-3=5) ,
462 means (4+2=6) or (6-2=4) ,
572 means (5+2=7) or (7-5=2) ,
396 means (6+3=9) or (9-3=6) ,
671 means (6+1=7) or (7-6=1) ,
264 means (4+2=6) or (6-2=4) ,
but only 427 is the number in which if we do addition of any of its two digits (e.g 4+2 or 4+7) then its answer doesn’t come 3rd digit
like if we do 4+2 then answer will be 6 so the number should be 426 but it is not
or if we do 7-4 then answer will be 3 (not 2)
so the right answer is 427
52.5
