Averages (Ages)

Five years ago, the average age of A, B, C, and D was 45. With E joining them now, the average age of all five is 49 years. How old is E?

A
25 years
B
40 years
C
45 years
D
64 years
Explanation and memory cue

Five years ago, the total age of A, B, C, and D was 4 × 45 = 180 years. Their current total age is 180 + (4 × 5) = 200 years. The average age of all five now is 49, so total age of all five is 5 × 49 = 245 years. Therefore, E's age is 245 - 200 = 45 years. However, this contradicts the options, so let's re-check: The question states 'Five years ago, average age was 45', so total age five years ago = 4 × 45 = 180. Current total age of four = 180 + (4 × 5) = 200. Total age of five now = 5 × 49 = 245. So, E's age now = 245 - 200 = 45 years. The correct answer is 45 years, which corresponds to option C, not D. Therefore, correct answer is C.

Ratio and Proportion

Arif, Hafiz, and Haider share Rs. 2560. Hafiz's share is four times as much as Arif's, and Arif's share is one-third of Haider's. How much is Arif's share?

A
Rs. 320
B
Rs. 300
C
Rs. 110
D
None of these
Explanation and memory cue

Let Arif's share be x. Hafiz's share is 4x, and Arif's share is one-third of Haider's, so Haider's share is 3x. Total shares: x + 4x + 3x = 8x = 2560, so x = 2560/8 = 320. Therefore, Arif's share is Rs. 320.

Averages (Ages)

The average age of A, B, C, D, and E is 40 years. The average age of A and B is 35 years, and the average age of C and D is 42 years. What is the age of E?

A
48
B
46
C
42
D
45
Explanation and memory cue

The total age of A, B, C, D, and E is 40 × 5 = 200 years. The total age of A and B is 35 × 2 = 70 years, and the total age of C and D is 42 × 2 = 84 years. Therefore, the age of E = 200 - (70 + 84) = 46 years. However, since 46 is option B, the correct answer is B.

Work and Time (Rates)

easy2020FIA Assistant Director Paper 2020
MathematicsFIA

If A and B together can complete a piece of work in 15 days and B alone in 20 days, in how many days can A alone complete the work?

A
60
B
45
C
40
D
30
Explanation and memory cue

A and B together complete the work in 15 days, so their combined rate is 1/15 work per day. B alone completes the work in 20 days, so B's rate is 1/20 work per day. Therefore, A's rate is (1/15 - 1/20) = (4/60 - 3/60) = 1/60 work per day, meaning A alone can complete the work in 60 days. However, since 60 is option A, the correct answer should be A, not D. Rechecking the calculation: A's rate = 1/15 - 1/20 = (4 - 3)/60 = 1/60, so A alone takes 60 days. So the correct answer is A.

The largest airport in the world is:

A
New York airport
B
Frankfurt airport
C
Dubai Airport
D
None of these
Explanation and memory cue

The term 'largest airport' can refer to different metrics such as land area, passenger traffic, or terminal size. The largest airport in the world by land area is King Fahd International Airport in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, covering about 776 square kilometers. Dubai International Airport is one of the busiest airports by international passenger traffic and has the world's largest terminal by floor space, but it is not the largest airport overall by land area or total passenger traffic. The busiest airport by total passenger traffic in 2024 is Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in the USA. Therefore, none of the given options (New York airport, Frankfurt airport, Dubai Airport) is the largest airport in the world by the broadest definition. Hence, the correct answer is 'D' (None of these).
