=x
Then Rakhi's present age = (x + 10) 9 × 3 + 8 ÷ 4 – 7 = 28 Only conclusion I & II follow.

= (x + 10) 9 – 3 + 8 ÷ 4 × 7 = 28 19.(a) Opposite sides in the given

9 – 3 + 2 × 7 = 28 dice are:
The present age of Rakhi's
20 = 20 False I VI
mother = 2(x + 10)
Option(b) II III
= 2(x +10) IV V
9 × 3 + 8 ÷ 4 – 7 = 28
According to the statement, 9 × 3 – 8 ÷ 4 + 7 = 28 So 'VI' will come opposite to face con-
9 × 3 – 2 + 7 = 28 taining I.
32 = 28 False I 'VI'

2x = 30
x = 15 3
= 28 False
Then the present age of Rakhi's 8
mother = 2(15 + 10) Option(d)
= 50 years 9 ÷ 3 + 8 × 4 – 7 = 28
22.(a)
3 + 32 – 7 = 28
28 = 28 True
= 2(x + 10)
15.(b)  4 * 5 % 3 = 8000
= 2(15 + 10)
(4 × 5)3  (20)3 = 8000
= 50  2 * 3 % 2 = 36
And the age of Rakhi's mother at (2 × 3)2  (6)2 = 36 23.(b)
Rakhi's engangement Similarly,
= (50 – 10) years 4 * 3 % 3 ?
= 40 years (4 × 3)3  (12)3 = 1728
16.(d)
= 50 – 10 = 40 (3 × 1 × 5 × 2) + 1 = 31 24.(c)
