1280 Kilometers are nearly equal to:

(A) 1000 miles
(B) 800 miles
(C) 940 miles
(D) None of these

Check Answer

(B) 800 miles

Explanation

Solution: In order to convert kilometers into miles, we can approximate this conversion by using this conversion factor:
1 mile ≈ 1.6 km

Therefore, for 1280 km:

Miles ≈ 1280/1.6 ≈ 800

Thus, 1280 km is equivalent to 800 miles.

Correct answer: (B) 800 miles.

Five years ago, the average of P and Q was 15 years. Average P, Q and R is 20 years. How old will R be after 10 years?

(A) 35 years
(B) 40 years
(C) 30 years
(D) 50 years

Check Answer

(C) 30 years

Explanation

Solution: Assume that the current ages are P, Q, and R.

Step 1 – using the first condition:

Five years ago, the average of P and Q was 15.

So, we can write:

[(P – 5) + (Q – 5)]/2 = 15, which can be simplified to:

(P + Q – 10)/2 = 15, and then P + Q – 10 = 30, so P + Q = 40.

Step 2 – using the second condition:

The average of P, Q, and R is 20, so:

(P + Q + R)/3 = 20, giving P + Q + R = 60, and then P + Q + 20 = 60, since we found P + Q = 40, so 40 + 20 = 60, giving R = 20.

Step 3 – find the age of R in 10 years:

R + 10 = 20 + 10 = 30.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C) 30 years.
