14. In a competitive examination, one mark is awarded for each correct answer
1
while mark is deducted for every wrong answer. Jayanti answered 120
2
questions and got 90 marks. How many questions did she answer correctly?
15. The sum of a numerator and denominator of a fraction is 18. If the denominator
is increased by 2, the fraction reduces to 1/3. Find the fraction
16. The sum of a two digit number and the number formed by interchanging its digit
is 132.If 12 is added to the number the new number becomes 5 times the sum of the
digits. Find the number.
17. Two years ago, a man was 5 times as old as his son. Two years later his age will
be 8 more than three the age of the son. Find the present ages of the man and
his son.
18. Places A and B are 100 km apart on a highway. One car starts from A and
another from B at the same time. If the cars travel in the same direction at different
speeds, they meet in 5 hours. If they travel towards each other, they meet in 1 hour.
What are the speeds of the two cars?
19. The students of a class are made to stand in rows. If 3 students are extra in a
row, there would be 1 row less. If 3 students are less in a row, there would be 2 rows
more. Find the number of students in the class.
20. The area of a rectangle gets reduced by 9 square units if its length is reduced by
5 units and the breadth is increased by 3 units. If we increase the length by 3 units
