Let the age of the youngest child be x years.
Then, x+(x+3)+(x+6)+(x+9)+ (x+12)= 50
⇒5x+30=50
⇒5x=20
⇒x=4
Required age = 4 years2-(d);
S.I. on Rs 12000
=(12000×8×1)/100=Rs 960
Desired gain on Rs 20000
= 20000×10/100=Rs 2000
∴S.I.on Rs.8000=2000-960=Rs 1040
∴Rate=(S.I.×100)/(Principal×Time)=(1040×100)/8000
=13% per annum

(c);
Let the required time be x years Then,
{800+(800×12)/100}×x-(910+(910×10)/100}×x=110
⇒(96x-91x)= 110
⇒5x=110 ⇒x=22

Ratio of their profits = 3×12∶5×12∶5×6

Let the present ages of P, Q & R be P years, Q years and R years respectively.
According to Ist condition of question
P + 2Q + R = 59 …(i)
According to 2nd condition of question
3P + Q + R = 68 …(ii)
According to 3rd condition of the question
P + 3Q + 3R = 108 …(iii)
From (ii), we get
Q + R = 68 – 3P …(iv)
From (iii), we get
P + 3(Q+ R) = 108
P = 3 (68 – 3P) = 108 .. using (iv)
P + 204 – 9P = 108
⇒8P=96
∴P=12
P's Present age=12 yrs

(a);
Let 10 years ago, age of Ajay was ‘x’ years
∴ 10 years ago, age of Sachin = 2x years
Present age of Ajay = (x+ 10) years
Present age of Sachin = 2x + 10
10 years hence, Sachin’s age will be (2x + 10) + 10 years
According to question
2x+10+10=40
⇒2x=20
⇒x=10
=x+10=10+10=20 years
