Answers:

Two Wheeler Three Wheeler Four wheelerSpeed x (5x–20) 5xTime (t +1) tDistance 120km 120km 120km ⇒ x2 – 4x – 96 = 0
∴ x = 12
Time taken by two wheeler = 120/12 = 10 hrs
Time taken by three wheeler = 120/40 = 3hrs
Time taken by four wheeler = 12/60 = 2 hrs
Required time = 10 + 3 + 2 = 15 hrs.
Two Wheeler Three Wheeler Four wheelerSpeed x (5x–20) 5xTime (t +1) tDistance 120km 120km 120km⇒ x2 – 4x – 96 = 0 ∴ x = 12
sum of the present age of mother, father and son = 42 × 3 + 6 × 3 = 126 + 18 = 144 yearsSum of the present age of family = 36 × 5 = 180Present age of bridge = 180 – 144 – 5 = 31 yearsAge of the bridge at the time of marriage = 31 – 6 = 25yrs

Ways of forming committee
1 man + 1 woman + 2 children
2 man + 1 woman + 1 child
1 man + 2 women + 1 child
Total ways,
= ³c₁ × ⁴c₁ × ²c₂ + ³c₂ × ⁴c₁ × ²c₁ + ³c₁ × ⁴c₂ × ²c₁
= 3 × 4 × 1 + 3 × 4 × 2 + 3 × 6 × 2
= 12 + 24 + 36 = 72
