When I was married 10 years ago my wife is the 6th
member of the family. Today my father died and a baby born
to me. The average age of my family during my marriage is
same as today. What is the age of Father when he died?

Answer Posted / dinesh kumar

let x be the avg age of each person in the family ten years
back...
so total age=6x
after 10 years i.e,now the total age of the family =6x+60
let grand father age as y
then the average of the family=(6x+60-y)/5
(bcoz grand father has expired and the new born baby has no
age at present)

according to the given question (6x+60-y)/5=x

bcoz x is the avg age bfore 10 years.

while calc the equation according to the presnt age we have
to add 10 to the result....


so the answer is 70

Alok and Bhanu play the following min-max game. Given the expression N = X - Y – Z where X, Y and Z are variables representing single digits (0 to 9), Alok would like to maximize N while Bhanu would like to minimize it. Towards this end, Alok chooses a single digit number and Bhanu substitutes this for a variable of her choice (X, Y or Z). Alok then chooses the next value and Bhanu, the variable to substitute the value. Finally Alok proposes the value for the remaining variable. Assuming both play to their optimal strategies, the value of N at the end of the game would be • 4 • -18 • 9 • 2
