Ghanshyam is thrice as old as Akash. 10 years ago, Ghanshyam was four times as old as Akash. What is the difference between their current ages (in years)?
60
Step 1 – Set up variables:
Let Akash's current age be \(x\). Then Ghanshyam's current age is \(3x\).
Step 2 – Apply the past-condition:
10 years ago: \(3x - 10 = 4(x - 10)\)
\(3x - 10 = 4x - 40 \Rightarrow x = 30\)
Step 3 – Compute the difference:
Akash = 30, Ghanshyam = \(3 \times 30 = 90\).
Difference = \(90 - 30 = 60\) years.
Hence 60 (Option 2).

Let X be a real-valued random variable such that E[eX] < ∞ and E[eX] = eE[X]. Then which of the following is correct?
There are three urns U1, U2, U3, each with balls of two colours. U1 contains 2 white balls and 3 black balls, U2 contains 3 white balls and 2 black balls and U3 contains 5 white balls and 5 black balls. An urn is chosen at random and a ball is drawn from that urn at random. What is the probability that U2 was chosen given that the ball picked is black in colour?
