a. b. c. d.

Explanation:
If (2a+b)/(a+4b)=3, then 2a+b=3*(a+4b)
So, 2a+b=3a+12b and a=-11b
Then we replace a with -11b in second expression, so we have
(a+b)/(a+2b)=(-11b+b)/(-11b+2b)=(-10b)/(-9b)=10/9

Explanation:
Let the cost of a horse be Rs.x.
Let the cost of two cows be Rs.2y

x + 2y = Rs.680.... (1)
x - y =Rs.80 .... (2)
.................................
3y = Rs. 600
y = Rs.200
x - 200 = 80
x = 280
x : y = 280 : 200 x:y=7:5

 Allegation Method

Or
Let the number of males members be X and female members be Y.
Then,
Total age of male members = 34 x X
Total age of female members = 26 x Y
Total age of all the members = (X + Y) x 30
⇒ 34X + 26Y = (X + Y) x 30
⇒ 34X + 26Y = 30X + 30Y
⇒ 4X = 4Y ⇒ X = Y
Percentage of Males is 50%. Ans. (a)

a. 7:3 b. 3:7 c. 9:4 d. 4:9
Explanation:
Let the ages of father and son 10 years ago be 3x and x years respectively.
Then, (3x + 10) + 10 = 2[(x + 10) + 10]
3x + 20 = 2x + 40
x = 20.
Required ratio = (3x + 10) : (x + 10) = 70 : 30 = 7 : 3.

So father's age will be 56-x
9 | Page 044-24339436, 044-42867555, 9840226187
 After 4 years the age of the father will be 3 times that of his son
(56−x+4)=3(x+4)
56−x−3x−12+4=0
4x = 56 -8 = 48
x = 12
The age of the son is 12 years.
The age of his father is 44 years.
