Let the ages of the two boys be 5x and 6x.

According to the question,

⇒ 40x + 16 = 42x + 14

⇒ 2x = 2

⇒ x = 1

∴  Required ratio = (5x + 10) : (6x + 10)

= (5 x 1 + 10) : (6 x 1 + 10)
= 15 : 16
= 15/16

Given: HCF = 4

Let the numbers be 3x and 4x.

HCF of (3x and 4x) = x 

Since, LCM of (3x and 4x) = 12x

Substituting the value of x = 4, we get,

LCM = 12 x 4 = 48

As we know,

Given:

After 3 years the Dora cakes amount to 13380.

And after 6 years the Dora cakes amounts to 20070.

Where A =  Amount,P = principal, R = rate of interest, and n = time

Compound Interest (CI) = A - P

Let the sum be P and the rate of interest be R

So,

And

Divide equation (2) from equation (1)

Put this value in equation (1)

P x (3/2) = 13380

⇒ P = 8920

The initial value of the Dora cake was 8920.

When Jaynav was born, his brother's age = 6 years

His father's age = (6 + 32) years = 38 years

His mother's age = (38 - 3) years = 35 years

His sister's age = (35 - 25) years = 10 years

Given,

= 87.35/87.35 

= 1

∴ The required value is 1.

Relative speed = 48 + 52 = 100 m/sec

Total distance covered by both the trains = 160 + 200 = 360 m

Speed = Distance/Time 

∴ 100 = 360/Time

∴ Time = 3.6 sec

Given:

10 years ago, the age of the mother was three times the age of her son. Let, the age of son was x and the mother's age was 3x.

At present: Mother's age is (3x + 10) and son's age is (x + 10).

After ten years: Mother's age will be (3x + 10) + 10  and son's age will be (x + 10) + 10. Given that, the mother's age is twice that of the son after ten years.

(3x + 10) + 10 = 2[(x + 10) + 10]

(3x + 20) = 2[x + 20]

Solving the equation, we get x = 20

(3x + 10) : (x + 10) = 70 : 30 = 7 : 3
