(a) 20 years (b) 30 years After 10 years,
(c) 5 years (d) 10 years Age of Asma = (x+10) years,
SSC CGL (Tier-I) – 13/06/2019 (Shift-I) Age of grandfather = (80 – x + 10)
Ans. (a) : Let the present age of Akshan = x years 1
Present age of Savan = 4x years Age of Asma = × Age of grandfather
4
According to the question,
1
4 x + 10 = 2 ( x + 10 ) ( x + 10 ) = × (90 − x )
4
4 x + 10 = 2 x + 20 4x + 40 = 90 – x
4 x − 2 x = 20 − 10 5x = 90 – 40
2 x = 10 5x = 50
x=5 x = 10 years
Hence present age of Savan = 4x Hence present age of Asma = 10 years.

(a) 10 years (b) 15 years SSC CGL (Tier-I) – 12/06/2019 (Shift-I)
(c) 8 years (d) 5 years Ans. (d) : Let the present age of Vishal = x years
SSC CGL (Tier-I) – 12/06/2019 (Shift-III)
Ans. (d) : Let the age of Vinayak is x years and the
∴Present age of Armaan = (70−x) years
age of his father is y years. 5 years ago age of Vishal = (x−5) years
According to the question, 5 years ago age of Armaan = (70 − x − 5)
x + y = 50 __________ (i) = (65 − x) years
After 5 years, According to the question
(y + 5) x − 5 = 2 (65 − x)
x+5 =
5 x − 5 = 130 − 2x
5x + 25 = y + 5 x + 2x = 130 + 5
5x − y = −20 ________ (ii) 3x = 135
From equations (i) and (ii) x = 45
x = 5 years y = 45years Hence present age of Armaan = 70 − x
Hence the present age of Vinayk is 5 years.
= 70 − 45 = 25 years

Ans. (b) : Average age of all the family member According to the question,
Let the first, second and third numbers are x, 4x and 3x

respectively,
After 4 years sum of their ages = 420+14×4+4 = 480 x + 4x + 3x = 240

Ans. (b) : Let first number = x + 120 average number of applicants per centre?
Second number = x (a) 1492.6 (b) 1249.6
According to the question, (c) 1429.6 (d) 1294.6

Average = Ans. (b) : Total number of applicants = 1250 × 250 =
2
312500
2x + 120 Correct number of applicants = 312500 + 1658 – 1758
80 =
2 = 314158 – 1758
2x + 120 = 160 = 312400
2x = 40 ∴ Correct average number of applicants per centre =
x = 20 312400 ÷ 250 = 1249.6

SSC CGL (Tier-I) – 10/06/2019 (Shift-I) According to the question,
Total score of 10 matches = 15×10 =150
Ans. (a) : Total sum of 9 numbers = 9×40 = 360
Score of first 4 matches = 14×4 = 56
Total sum of first five numbers = 5×38= 190 Score of last 4 matches = 12×4 = 48
Total sum of last five numbers = 5×50 = 250 Average score of remaining 2 matches are
Fifth number = Total sum of first five numbers + Total 150 − [56 + 48]
sum of last five numbers – Total sum of 9 numbers. =

⇒ (250 + 190) − 360 150 − 104 46
= = = 23
⇒ 440 − 360 = 80 2 2
Hence, the fifth number = 80 Hence, option (b) is correct answer.
