This problem involves solving a system of linear equations based on age ratios at different points in time. We will set up equations for the ages of Saina and Sagar at two different time points (six years ago and four years from now) and then solve for their present ages.
Let the present age of Saina be \(S\) years and the present age of Sagar be \(G\) years.
Six years ago:
Saina's age was \(S - 6\).
Sagar's age was \(G - 6\).
The ratio of their ages was 6 : 5. So, we can write the equation:
Four years from now:
Saina's age will be \(S + 4\).
Sagar's age will be \(G + 4\).
The ratio of their ages will be 11 : 10. So, we can write the equation:
Now we have a system of two linear equations:
Equation 1: \(5S - 6G = -6\)
Equation 2: \(10S - 11G = 4\)
To solve for \(G\), we can eliminate \(S\). Multiply Equation 1 by 2:
\[ 2 \times (5S - 6G) = 2 \times (-6) \]\[ 10S - 12G = -12 \quad \text{(Equation 3)} \]Subtract Equation 3 from Equation 2:
\[ (10S - 11G) - (10S - 12G) = 4 - (-12) \]\[ 10S - 11G - 10S + 12G = 4 + 12 \]\[ G = 16 \]So, the present age of Sagar is 16 years.
To find Saina's age (optional, but good for verification), substitute \(G = 16\) into Equation 1:
\[ 5S - 6(16) = -6 \]\[ 5S - 96 = -6 \]\[ 5S = 90 \]\[ S = 18 \]Verification:
Six years ago: Saina = \(18-6=12\), Sagar = \(16-6=10\). Ratio \(12:10 = 6:5\). (Correct)
Four years from now: Saina = \(18+4=22\), Sagar = \(16+4=20\). Ratio \(22:20 = 11:10\). (Correct)
B) 16 years. The calculation shows that Sagar's present age is 16 years.

Select the most appropriate Venn diagram for the following words:
"Shoes, Car, Bicycle"
To determine the most appropriate Venn diagram for the words "Shoes, Car, Bicycle," we need to consider the relationships between these items. Since they are distinct categories with no overlap, the Venn diagram should reflect this separation.
Correct Option: B) The diagram shows three separate circles, each representing one of the categories: Shoes, Car, and Bicycle. This correctly represents the lack of overlap among the categories.

Read the given question and decide which of the following statements are sufficient to answer the question.
Question:
Who is the tallest among M, N, R and S?
Statements:
1. M is taller than R and S.
2. M is wearing a sky coloured shirt
Statements 1 and 2 both are sufficient
Statements 1 and 2 both are insufficient
Statement 1 alone is sufficient
Statement 2 alone is sufficient
We need to determine if the given statements provide enough information to identify the tallest person among M, N, R, and S. We will analyze each statement individually and then combine them to check for sufficiency.
Since neither statement alone nor both statements combined are sufficient to answer the question, both statements are insufficient.
Correct Option: B) Statements 1 and 2 both are insufficient
