SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(c)
Sol.
When P, Q and R are opened alternatively for 1 minutes each, time taken by them is 18 minutes. If all of them are opened simultaneously, they will fill tank 3 times faster. Hence time taken by each of them = 18/3 = 6 minutes.
Tank filled by them in 1 minute when all of them are opened together = 1/6
Let Q and R together takes x minutes 
∴ A will take x + 5 minutes

S5. Ans.(d)
Sol.
If average age of A, B, C and D is 25 years, then total age of A, B, C and D is 100 years.
Also, if C + D = 2x
Then A + B = 3x [A + B is 150% of C + D] 
5x = 100
x = 20
A + B = 60 …(i)
C + D = 40 …(ii) 
Now, in question ratio of B : C is given as 3 : 5. 
This is also ratio of D : C, as B and D are of same age. From (ii)
We can calculate
C = 25 years
D = 15 years
& Hence B = 15 years
∴ A = 45 years
10 years later age of A is 45 + 10 + 55 years.

S11. Ans.(c)
Sol. ? = 7960 + 2950 + 4028 – 8050 
⇒ ? = 14944 – 8050 = 6894
S12. Ans.(b)
Sol. 25 × 3.25 + 50.4 ÷ 24
= 24 × 3 + 25 × 0.25 + 2.1
= 75 + 6.25 + 2.1 = 83.35
