Q. 11.A fraction becomes1/2, if 1 is subtracted from the numerator and 2 is added to the
denominator. If 7 is subtracted from both the numerator and denominator it becomes 1/3.
Find the fraction.

Q. 14. If thrice the son's age in years is added to the father's age, the sum is 70. If twice the
father's age is added to the son's age, the sum is 85. Find the ages of father and son.
Q. 15. Points A and B are 80 km apart on a highway. A car starts from A and another car
starts from B simultaneously. If they travel in the same direction, they meet in 8 hours. But,
if they travel towards each other, they meet in 1 hour. Find the speed of each car.
Q. 16. A man travels 500 km partly by train and partly by bus. He takes 5 hours 30 minutes if
he travels 300 km by train and rest by bus. If he travels 260 km by train and 240 km by bus,
he takes 6 minutes longer. Find the speed of the train and the bus separately.
Q. 17. If the length of a rectangle is reduced by 5 units and its breadth is increased by 2 units
then the area of the rectangle is reduced by 70 sq. units. However, if we increase its length
by 10 units and decrease the breadth by 5 units, its area is increased by 40 sq. units. Find the
length and breadth of the rectangle.
Q. 18. Three years ago, a father was five times as old his son. Three years later, his age will
be 2 more than three times the age of the son. Find the present age of the father and the
son.
