Seven-eights of all the guests were adults, of which three-sevenths were men, so the fraction of guests

Since the average age of the three sisters is 10, their total age is 3  10  30 .
Since the average age of one pair of the sisters is 11, their total age is 2 11  22 and hence the age of
the sister not included in that pairing is 30 – 22 = 8. Similarly, since the average age of a different pair
of sisters is 12, their total age is 2 12  24 and hence the age of the sister not included in that pairing
is 30 – 24 = 6. Therefore the age of the eldest sister is 30 – 8 = 16.

3. (D)
The information in the question tells up that the amount of water that would fill three-fifths of the jar
weighs (740 – 560) g = 180 g.
Therefore the weight of water that would fill one-fifth of the jar is (180  3) g = 60 g.
Hence the weight of the empty jar is (560 – 60) g = 500 g.

4. (B)
Ratio of times taken by A and B = 1 : 3.
The time difference is (3 – 1) 2 days while B take 3 days and A takes 1 day.
If difference of time is 2 days, B takes 3 days.

If difference of time is 60 days, B takes   60   90 days

So, A takes 30 days to do the work.

Let x = 2021. Then T  2x  x2  1  x  1  2022 .
Since, 2022  2  3  337 , the largest prime factor of T is 337.

6. (C)
Consider first the amount of water that will reach X. Since half the water flows to each side each time

a pipe forks, the amount of water, in litres, reaching X is   296  74 . Therefore the amount of
2 2
water, in litres, reaching Y is 296 – 74 = 222.

The ratio a : b : c = 2 : 3 : 4 = 6 : 9 : 12.
The ratio c : d : e = 3 : 4 : 5 = 12 : 16 : 20.
Therefore the ratio a : b : c : d : e = 6 : 9 : 12 : 16 : 20.
Hence the ratio a : e = 6 : 20 = 3 : 10.

The total of the set of 8 numbers is 8  12  96 . The total of the two numbers removed is 2  18  36 .
Therefore the total of the 6 remaining numbers is 96 – 36 = 60. Hence the mean of the 6 remaining
numbers is 60  6  10 .

The house numbers on the south side of Crazy Street are consecutive odd numbers apart from any
which contain the digit 3. Therefore the numbers start 1, 5, 7, 9, 11, 15, 17, 19, etc. It can be seen that
the tens digit increases every four houses. Hence the 20th house would be the last house of the fifth
group of four houses. Since no house numbers contain the digit 3, there is no group of houses whose
house numbers start with a 3 and hence the numbers in the fifth group of four houses start with a 5.
Therefore, the number of the 20th house is 59.
