Given: I was of your present age when you were born.

From this statement we can say that the father is double the age of his son.

Father's present age = 36 yrs

Son's present age = 36/2 = 18 yrs

Son's age 5 years back = 18 - 5 = 13 yrs

Hence, the correct answer is option (2).

From the given information:

Step 1: A father is now 3 times old as his son.

      Father = 3 × Son

Step 2: 5 years back, he was 4 times old as his son.

⇒ Father - 5 = 4(Son - 5)

⇒ Father - 5 = 4(Son) - 20 

⇒ Father - 4(Son) + 15 = 0

Now we combine step 1 and 2,

 3 × Son - 4(Son) + 15 = 0

 -1(Son) = -15

We eliminate negative sign from both sides,

 Son = 15 yrs

Hence, the correct answer is option (1).

Given:

The sum of the ages of the couple is 11 times the difference of their ages.

Calculations:

Let age of the women be 10x + y years

Age of her husband = 10y + x years

According to the question,

⇒ (10y + x) – (10x + y) = 1/11 × (10x + y + 10y + x)

⇒ 10y + x - 10x - y = 1/11 × 11x + 11

⇒ 9y – 9x = x + y

⇒ 8y = 10x

⇒ x/y = 4/5

Hence, Age of the women is 45 years.

Given : 7 read French, 8 read English while 3 of them read none of these two.

According to the formula:

Total = E + F - EF + N

where E is English, F is French , EF is both English & French and N is neither.

We substitute the given values to the formula,

15 = 7 + 8 - EF + 3

15 = 18 - EF

EF = 18 - 15

EF = 3 

So, there are 3 people who read both English and French.

Hence, the correct answer is option (2).

Given : M went to movies 9 days ago. She goes to the movies only on Thursdays.

9 days from Thursday → (Thursday to Thursday is 7 days), remaining days = 2.

So, Thursday + 2 i.e., Saturday.

Hence, the correct answer is option (2).

We have : 30^th January 2003 was Thursday

Now we count the number of days:

31^st January = 1 day

February 2003 = 28 days(not a leap year)

1^st and 2^nd march = 2 days

Total number of days = 31 days

Now we divide the total with 7 and the remainder will represents the day of the week: 31/7 → 3 is the remainder.

So, 2^nd March 2003 will be Thursday + 3 i.e., Sunday.

Hence, the correct answer is option (1).

The pattern followed in the given series is:

   (First term)² + (Second term)² + (Third term)² = Fourth term

Now we apply the pattern on the given columns:

Column 1: (4)² + (2)² + (1)² = 21

16 + 4 + 1 = 21

21 = 21

Column 2: (5)2 + (3)2 + (8)2 = 98

25 + 9 + 64 = 98

98 = 98

Column 3: (6)2 + (7)2 + (3)2 = ?

36 + 49 + 9 = ?

94 = Answer

Hence, the correct answer is option (1).

The pattern followed in the given series is:

   Sum of digits of first term - Sum of digits of third term = Second term

Now we apply the pattern on the given rows:

Row 1: (9 + 6 + 3) - (8 + 4 + 4) = 2

18 - 16 = 2

2 = 2

Row 2: (4 + 6 + 4) - (9 + 0 + 3) = ?

14 - 12 = ?

2 = Answer

Hence, the correct answer is option (2).

The pattern followed in the given series is:

    (Fourth term - Second term) ÷ First term = Third term

Now we appl the pattern on the given columns:

Column 1: (29 - 8) ÷ 7 = 3

21 ÷ 7 = 3

3 = 3

Column 2: (19 - 7) ÷ 4 = 3

12 ÷ 4 = 3

3 = 3

Column 3: (31 - 6) ÷ 5 = ?

25 ÷ 5 = ?

5 = Answer

Hence, the correct answer is option (3).

The pattern followed in the given series is:

   (First term - Third term) × 11 = Second term [Taking Positive value only]

Now we apply the pattern in the given rows:

Row 1: (42 - 38) × 11 = 44

4 × 11 = 44

44 = 44

Row 2: (23 - 28) × 11 = 55  [Taking Positive value only]

5 × 11 = 55

55 = 55

Row 3: (37 - 39) × 11 = ?

2 × 11 = ?

22 = Answer

Hence, the correct answer is option (1).
