Shortcut Trick

Let the present ages of Sujatha and Vanita be S and V respectively.

From the first condition: 3S − 2V = 5

From the second condition: 3(V + 3) = 4(S + 3) − 4 ⇒ 3V + 9 = 4S + 12 − 4 ⇒ 4S − 3V = 1

Solving these simultaneous equations directly gives S = 13 years and V = 17 years.

The age difference k = V − S = 17 − 13 = 4 years.

∴ The correct answer is 4 years.

Alternate Method

Given:

Let the present age of Sujatha = S years

Let the present age of Vanita = V years

Calculations:

According to the first statement:

→ 3 × S = 2 × V + 5

⇒ 3S − 2V = 5 ——— (Equation 1)

According to the second statement after 3 years:

→ 3 × (V + 3) = 4 × (S + 3) − 4

⇒ 3V + 9 = 4S + 12 − 4

⇒ 3V + 9 = 4S + 8

⇒ 4S − 3V = 1 ——— (Equation 2)

To eliminate V, multiply Equation 1 by 3 and Equation 2 by 2:

⇒ 9S − 6V = 15

⇒ 8S − 6V = 2

Subtracting the two new equations:

⇒ (9S − 6V) − (8S − 6V) = 15 − 2

⇒ S = 13

Substitute S = 13 in Equation 1:

⇒ 3(13) − 2V = 5

⇒ 39 − 2V = 5

⇒ 2V = 34

⇒ V = 17

Finding the value of k:

⇒ k = V − S

⇒ k = 17 − 13 = 4

∴ The correct answer is 4.

Linear Equations in Two Variables

To solve problems involving two unknown ages, set up two distinct linear equations of the form ax + by = c and solve them using substitution or elimination methods.

Age Difference Invariance

The difference between the ages of two individuals always remains constant over time. Therefore, the value of k will remain the same whether calculated today or in the future.

The logic followed here is:

Logic: 1^st number × (1^st number + 1) = 2^nd number,

2^nd number ÷ 2 = 3^rd number.

Now,

For, (13, 182, 91)

⇒ 13 × (13 + 1) ⇒ 13 × 14 = 182.

⇒ 182 ÷ 2 = 91.

For, (17, 306, 153)

⇒ 17 × (17 + 1) ⇒ 17 × 18 = 306.

⇒ 306 ÷ 2 = 153.

Similarly, for Option 3: (8, 72, 36)

⇒ 8 × (8 + 1) ⇒ 8 × 9 = 72.

⇒ 72 ÷ 2 = 36.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given Statement: Eating too many chocolates will lead to dental problems.

Now, 

Assumptions:

1. Chocolates have high sugar content which can result in bacterial growth - Implicit (Eating too many chocolates will lead to dental problems due to high sugar content and bacterial growth) 2. Brushing twice a day keeps teeth strong - Not Implicit (Focuses on preventing dental problems through brushing twice a day. it doesn't directly address the specific consequence of consuming too many chocolates mentioned in the statement.)

Here, Only assumption I is implicit.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given equation: 54 B 9 P 11 T 13 M 17 = ?

Decoding the given information :

Now, replacing the sign from left to right and using BODMAS rule, we get :

New equation : 54 ÷ 9 × 11 - 13 + 17 = ?

Calculation :

⇒ 54 ÷ 9 × 11 - 13 + 17 = ?

⇒ 6 × 11 - 13 + 17 = ?

⇒ 66 - 13 + 17 = ?

⇒ 83 - 13 = 70.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
