Show Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: (D) None of these
Original ratio = 12 : 5
New ratio = 4 : 3 = 12 : 9

(A) 1
(B) 23

Show Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: (C) 24
Let the integers be n and n + 1.
n(n + 1) = 12 + 12(2n + 1)
n² + n = 24n + 24
n² − 23n − 24 = 0
(n + 1)(n − 24) = 0
Therefore, n = 24.

x = 10
Ali’s age = 40 + 10 = 50 years

The studio was filled with the rich odor of roses, and when the light summer breeze stirred amidst the trees of the garden, there came through the open window the sweet murmur of the fountain, or the more subtle music of the bees as they moved from flower to flower. From the corner of the divan of Persian saddle-bags on which he was lying, smoking, as was his custom, innumerable cigarettes, Lord Henry Wotton could just catch the gleam of the honey-sweet and honey-colored blossoms of the laburnum, whose tremulous branches seemed hardly able to bear the burden of a beauty so flamelike as theirs; and now and then the fantastic shadows of birds in flight flitted across the long tussore-silk curtains that were stretched in front of the huge window, producing a kind of momentary Japanese effect, and making him think of those pallid, jade-faced painters of Tokyo who, through the medium of an art that is necessarily immobile, seek to convey the sense of swiftness and motion. The sullen murmur of the bees shouldering their way through the long unmown grass, or circling with monotonous insistence round the dusty gilt horns of the straggling woodbine, seemed to make the stillness more oppressive. The dim roar of London was like the bourdon note of a ______ organ.

The Dublin of Joyce’s youth was a city of paradoxes, where piety and profanity, nationalism and cosmopolitanism, went hand in hand. It was a city of narrow streets and narrow minds, where the Catholic Church held sway over the lives of its citizens, and where the British Crown exercised a distant but palpable authority. Yet it was also a city of wit and humor, of satire and irony, where the likes of Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw had honed their craft. Joyce’s own family embodied these contradictions: his father, John Stanislaus Joyce, was a singer and a drinker, a devout Catholic and a fervent nationalist, who nonetheless harbored a deep love of Shakespeare and a disdain for the pretensions of the Irish middle class.
