Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Puzzle Question 7 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFLet,
Price of one pen = x
Price of one notebook = y
Given:
1) Mohit bought 3 pens and 6 notebooks by paying an amount of Rs. 180
=> 3x + 6y = 180
=> 3x = 180 – 6y
=> x = (180 – 6y) ÷ 3
=> x = 60 – 2y --------------- (i)
2) Sudesh bought 5 pens and 2 notebooks by paying an amount of Rs. 116
=> 5x + 2y = 116
Putting the value of x from eq (i)
=> 5(60 – 2y) + 2y = 116
=> 300 – 10y + 2y = 116
=> 300 – 116 = 10y – 2y
=> 8y = 184
=> y = 23
Mohit spend on buying 6 notebooks
=> 6y = 6 × 23 = 138
Hence, Mohit spend “Rs. 138” on buying notebooks.After interchanging the given two numbers and two signs what will be the values of equation (I) and (II) respectively?

Ages of father and son add up to 50. Six years back father's age was 6 more than thrice his son's age. What will be the father's age 6 years hence?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Puzzle Question 9 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFLet the age of father be F and that of son be S.
F + S = 50 (Given)
S = 50 – F _____ (i)
Six years back father's age was 6 more than thrice his son's age.
According to problem:
(F – 6) = 3(S – 6) + 6 _____ (ii)
Substituting the value of equation (i) in (ii), we get:
F – 6 = 3(50 – F – 6) + 6
⇒ F – 6 = 3(44 – F) + 6
⇒ F – 6 = 132 – 3F + 6
⇒ F + 3F = 132 + 6 + 6
⇒ 4F = 144
⇒ F = 144/4
⇒ F = 36
So, father's age 6 years hence = (36 + 6) = 42
Hence, ‘42’ is the correct answer.

Download Solution PDFLet the present age of Anamika be A, Malini be M and that of Srinidhi be S.
The, according to the question:
1) Seven years from now, Anamika will be as old as Malini was 4 years ago.
A + 7 = M - 4
⇒ M = A + 11
S = 2 years
And,
2) Srinidhi was born 2 years ago. The average age of Anamika, Malini and Srinidhi 10 years from now will be 33 years.
\({(A + 10 + M + 10 + S + 10) \over 3} = 33 \)
\(A + M + S + 30 = 33 \times 3\)
A + M + S = 99 - 30
A + M + S = 69
Now, by substituting the above values,
A + (A + 11) + 2 = 69
2A + 13 = 69
A = 56 ÷ 2
A = 28 years
Hence, the present age of Anamika is 28 years is the correct answer.
