We have 16 columns and 18 rows of students in a playground and distance between the two students is 1.5metres. The length of the row of students is
A. 20.5 m
B. 22.5 m
C. 22 m
D. 25.5 m

Therefore length of the row = 25.5m.
Mukesh is 40 years old and he is five times as old as his brother Rohit. When Mukesh is thrice as old as Rohit then age of Mukesh is
A. 44 years
B. 46 years
C. 48 years
D. 40 years
Option: C Explanation: Mukesh's present age = 40 years, Rohit's present age = 8 years.
Let Mukesh be thrice as old as Rohit after x years from now.
Then, 40 + x = 3 (8 + x). So, 40 + x = 24 + 3x. Hence, x = 8.
Hence, Mukesh's required age = 40 + x = 48 years
In ASEAN Summit, all leaders shake hands with each other once. How many handshakes will there be altogether if there are 15 leaders?

Rimpy is thrice as old as Saroj. Four years ago, she was five times as old as Saroj. How old is Rimpy now?
A. 21 years
B. 12 years
C. 24 years
D. 16 years
Option: C Explanation: Let Saroj's present age = x years
Then Rimpy present age = 3x years
Four years ago
(3x-4) = 5(x-4)
3x - 4 = 5x - 20
or x = 8
Rimpy age = 3x = 3*8= 24 years.
A zoo has tigers and sparrows and they are 70 in number on counting their heads and the number of their legs is 210. How many sparrows are there?
A. 37
B. 35
C. 55
D. 25
Option: B Explanation: Let x and y be the number of tigers and sparrows in the zoo respectively. Then,
x + y = 70 ...(i) and
4x + 2y = 210 or 2x + y = 105 ...(ii)
Solving (i) and (ii), we get) x = 35, y = 35.

Two friends Manish and Kapil went to New Year party and they played several monetary games in that party. Kapil had Rs.200 less than Manish before playing games but after the party, he had made his money six times of what he had with him initially or he had Rs.400 more than what they both had with them initially. So how much money Manish had with him before playing games?
A. Rs.500
B. Rs.400
C. Rs.250
D. Rs.350
Option: D Explanation: Let money with Kapil = x. Then, money with Manish = x + 200
Now, 6x = (x + x + 200) + 400. Hence, x = 150.
Therefore, money with Manish initially = 150 + 200 = Rs.350
