1.10 years ago, the age of a father was more than  the age of his son and after 10 
years from now, the age of the father will be more than  the age of his son. Now, 
how much is the total sum of the age of father and son? 
A. 120 years 
B. 115 years 
C. 110 years 
D. 100 years 
 
Answer ||| C 
Solution ||| 
Suppose the present age of father is F and son is S. 
ATQ- 
10 years ago, 
 
10 years from now, 
 
On solving both the equations- 
We get, S = 30 & F = 80 
Sum of their present ages – 80 + 30 = 110 years 
Hence, option (c) is correct. 
 
2.Two different situations of the same dice are shown. If the number 6 is on the lower 
board, then what will be the number on the upper board? 
 
A. 4 
B. 1 
C. 2 
D. 3 
 
Answer ||| D 
Solution ||| 
Moving in the clockwise direction, 
Cube 1- 3 1 5 
Cube 2- 3 4 2 
Clearly, 6 will be opposite to 3 
Hence, option (D) is correct.
