The boy is Asha’s son.
9. At what time between 2:00 and 3:00 will the hour hand and minute hand of a clock
form a straight line?
Answer: The minute hand sweeps 6 degrees per minute, and the hour hand sweeps
0.5 degrees per minute, so the minute hand “gains” 5.5 degrees per minute on the
hour hand.
At 2:00, the minute hand is 60 degrees behind, and it needs to get 180 degrees
ahead, for a net change of 240 degrees. 240
5.5 = 43.636363 minutes. That is 2 hour 43
minutes

Answer:
28. In a class of 60 students, 25 play cricket, 20 play football, and 15 play both sports.
Answer:
3 + 6 × (5 + 4) ÷ 3 − 7.
Answer:
First, solve inside the parentheses:
5 + 4 = 9.
3 + 6 × 9 ÷ 3 − 7.
6 × 9 = 54, 54 ÷ 3 = 18.
3 + 18 = 21, 21 − 7 = 14.
2. Fraction Operations:

4 8 2
Answer:
To add and subtract fractions, we first find a common denominator. The least
common denominator (LCD) of 4, 8, and 2 is 8.
Rewriting each fraction with denominator 8:
3 6 5 5 1 4
= , = , = .

3. LCM and GCD (HCF):
Find the least common multiple (LCM) and greatest common divisor (GCD) of 36
and 60.
Answer:
First, find the prime factorization of 36 and 60:
36 = 22 × 32 , 60 = 22 × 3 × 5.
The GCD is found by taking the lowest power of each common prime factor:
The LCM is found by taking the highest power of each prime factor:
4. Number Series:

Answer:
Observe the pattern:
2 = 1 × 2, 6 = 2 × 3, 12 = 3 × 4, 20 = 4 × 5, 30 = 5 × 6.
C → D, O → P, M → N, P → Q, U → V, T → U, E → F, R → S.
P → Q, R → S, O → P, G → H, R → S, A → B, M → N.
6. Blood Relation:
If A is the brother of B, B is the sister of C, and C is the mother of D, how is A
related to D?
Answer:
From the problem: - A is the brother of B. - B is the sister of C. - C is the mother of
D.
Since C is the mother of D and B is C’s sister, B is D’s aunt. And since A is B’s
brother, A is also D’s uncle.
Thus, A is related to D as Uncle .

7. Averages: The average age of a group of 5 students is 22 years. If the age of one
student is 20 years, find the average age of the remaining 4 students.
Answer:
Let the total age of the 5 students be S.
S
= 22 =⇒ S = 22 × 5 = 110.

8. Ratio and Proportion: In a school, the ratio of the number of boys to the number
of girls is 3:4. If there are 360 boys, find the number of girls in the school.
Answer:
Let the number of girls be G.
Given, the ratio of boys to girls is 43 , and the number of boys is 360. Therefore, we
have:
360 3
= .
G 4
Cross-multiply to find G:
1440
360 × 4 = 3 × G =⇒ 1440 = 3G =⇒ G = = 480.

9. Problems on Ages: The present age of A is three times that of B. 5 years ago, A
was four times as old as B. Find their present ages.
Answer:
Let the present age of B be x. Then, the present age of A is 3x.
5 years ago, A’s age was 3x − 5, and B’s age was x − 5. According to the problem, 5
years ago, A was four times as old as B:
3x − 5 = 4(x − 5).
So, B’s present age is 15 years, and A’s present age is:
3x = 3 × 15 = 45 years.
Thus, the present ages of A and B are 45 years and 15 years, respectively.
