Q. Rahul is 3 times as old as Seema. Laxmi was twice as old as Rahul four years ago. In four year’s time, Rahul will be 31. What are the present ages of Seema and Laxmi?
a) 9, 45 b) 9, 52 c) 10, 50 d) 9, 50 Correct Answer : d) 9, 50
Question from BPSC PT 71, 2025
Correct Answer: d) 9, 50
Explanation: – In 4 years, Rahul will be 31 ⇒ Rahul’s present age R = 31 − 4 = 27. – Rahul is 3 times as old as Seema ⇒ R = 3S ⇒ 27 = 3S ⇒ Seema’s present age S = 9. – Four years ago, Rahul was 27 − 4 = 23. Laxmi was twice Rahul’s age then: L − 4 = 2 × 23 = 46 ⇒ L = 50. – Therefore, Seema is 9 and Laxmi is 50.
Q. Nitin is 7 ranks ahead of Joginder in a class of 39. If Joginder’s rank is 17th from the last, what is Nitin’s rank from the beginning?
a) 18th b) 15th c) 17th d) 16th Correct Answer : d) 16th
Question from BPSC PT 71, 2025
Correct Answer: d) 16th
Explanation: – Total students = 39. – Joginder is 17th from the last, so his rank from the beginning = 39 − 17 + 1 = 23rd. – Nitin is 7 ranks ahead of Joginder, so Nitin’s rank = 23 − 7 = 16th.
Q. Writing in Alphabetical order, which name of the following will appear in the last?
a) Mohender b) Mohinder c) Mahinder d) Mahendra Correct Answer: b) Mohinder
Question from BPSC PT 71, 2025
Correct Answer: b) Mohinder
Explanation: – Compare second letters: Names starting with “Mo…” come after those starting with “Ma…” (since o > a). – So the last name must be one of: Mohender (a) or Mohinder (b). – Compare “Mohender” vs “Mohinder”: after “Moh”, the next letter is e vs i; since i > e, “Mohinder” comes later.
Thus, the alphabetical order is: Mahendra < Mahinder < Mohender < Mohinder, so the last is “Mohinder” (b).

Q. Mukesh said to his friend, “Rita is the mother of my son’s wife’s daughter”. How is Mukesh related to Rita?
a) Son b) Son-in-law c) Father d) Father-in-law Correct Answer : d) Father-in-law
Question from BPSC PT 71, 2025
Correct Answer: d) Father-in-law
Explanation: – “My son” → Mukesh’s son. – “My son’s wife” → Mukesh’s daughter-in-law. – “My son’s wife’s daughter” → This girl’s mother is the son’s wife. – Rita is said to be the mother of that girl, so Rita = Mukesh’s son’s wife (his daughter-in-law). – Therefore, Mukesh is related to Rita as her father-in-law.
