C.

D.

Option: A

Explanation :

Let the present ages of 2 persons be x and y
So x + y = 50  -------(i)
Ages 5 years ago x-5 and y-5
According to given condition (x-5) / (y-5) = 5/3
Cross multyplying 3x-15 = 5y -25
5y-3x=10 ------(ii)
Now multiplying (i) by 5 and subtracting   (ii) from it
(5y + 5x = 250) - (5y - 3x  = 10)
8x= 240
x= 30
So y= 20
Hence answer is (a)

Option: D

Explanation :

According to given rules we rearrange the given equation  which is 90+9-29/10*2 .We will solve it according to BODMAS rule.So firstly we will solve 29/10=2.9 then multiplication 2.9*2=5.8 then 90+9 =99  then 99-5.8= 93.2 . This is not in the options. However,if we simply solve the equation :- firstly 90+9=99 then 99-29=70 then 70/10=7 7*2=14. The correct answer is 'D'

firstly they added 90 9 ...becomes 99 then subtracted 29 ...then it became 70 then divided by 10 and it became 7 and finally multiplied by 2 you get your answer......logically incorrect but in series and in calculator if you do so ..you will find the same answer........enjoy preparing...
