12. The sum of the digits of a two digit number is 12. If the
digits are reversed, the new number formed is 36 less
than the original number. Find the original number.

13. If twice the sum of four consecutive even numbers is

56. Find the numbers.
14. The numerator of a fraction is 3 less than the
denominator. If we reduce the denominator by 8, the
new fraction will have its numerator twice its
denominator. Find the original fraction.

15. Three times a number increased by ten is equal to

twenty less than six times the number. Find the number.

16. The age of the mother is five times that of her

daughter. Three years ago, the age of the mother was
nine times her daughter’s age. Find their present ages.

17. The number of boys and girls are in the ratio 6 : 5. The
number of boys is five more than number of girls. What
is the total strength of the class?

18. The ages of Sonu and Monu are in the ratio 5 : 7. Four
years from now, the ratio of their ages will be 3 : 4.
Find their present ages. ( Ans 20, 28)

19. The numerator of a rational number is 2 more than

3times its denominator. If the denominator is increased
by 5 and numerator decreased by 5, the number
3
obtained is . Find the number.

10 hours to cover the same distance. If the speed of the
stream is 1 km/hr, find the speed of the streamer in still
water.
