The day before yesterday, I was 25 years old, and next year I will turn 28. How is it possible?
This question isn’t as difficult as it seems to be. The question is surely perplexing at a glance and one may deem this question to be wrong but trust me, this question is reasonable.On carefully inspecting this question, one can understand that there are two days which are important and these are:A. My Birthday.B. The day when I am making this statement.If you think for a while, you will understand that such statements can be made only around the year’s end. So, if my birthday is on 31 December, then I will be making this statement on 1 January.I will further explain using the following example:1. Consider that today is 01 January 2017.2. Then, the day before yesterday was 30 December 2016 and according to the question I was 25 then.3. Yesterday was 31 December 2016, which happens to be my birthday too (Woohoo!), and my age increases by one to become 26.4. I will turn 27 on my birthday this year (31 December 2017).5. I will turn 28 on my birthday next year (31 December 2018).Now, if you read the question again, it will make more sense:The day before yesterday(30 December 2016), I was 25 years old and next year(31 December 2018) I will be 28.TL;DR:
What can be done about my daughter who is 14 months old but hardly eats anything and doesn't like milk at all?
Mother's milk is not sufficient for the proper growth of babies over 6 months. babies need a daily dose of iron, minerals and vitamins alongwith the basic carbohydrates, proteins and fats for proper growth. It is high time your daughter starts eating solid food for her to get proper nutrition. You can try the following things:After she has had her fill of breastmilk, hand her a bowl of solid food. Pureed fruits, vegetables or mashed rice with milk are great starter foods. Let her play with the food. Hand her a spoon and let her do whatever she wishes. While playing, if she eats even two spoonfuls of the food, it is still a start. When you are having dinner, hand her a similar plate or bowls and some food. Let her copy you, so that she feels she is a part of the adult world and eating like one. If she wants to try something from your plate, let her. Babies have tiny stomachs. So let her have small quantities of a variety of foods several times a day. This can also give you a hint of preferences. If it's possible, allow dad or any other person, apart from mom, take care of her for 2-3 hours. When she is hungry at these times, and mom is not around, she might go for the solid food without much fuss. Let your daughter mingle with other kids her age. When she sees the other kids eating, she might also want to try stuff out. If there are no kids her age living around you, you can take her to a daycare center or a playgroup, where she can socialize. (This has been most efficient for my daughter. She started trying out everything after she saw other kids doing it.)There are innumerable recipes for baby foods online which you can try. In my personal experience, I had most success with pureed fruits, as they are naturally sweet and tasty. (with a good dose of nutrients, too!)Try associating meal times with something she already loves to do. For example, my daughter loves to watch songs and rhymes on the TV, so I used to make her sit in front of the TV for meals. While she enjoyed watching her favourite songs, she didn't mind the minor intrusion of food. (Many parents are dead against doing this, but it worked for my daughter. And she got over this habit pretty quickly. Now she eats with us and concentrates more on her plate than anything else.)I know it is very distressing for you to watch her like this. Hope this helps. Meanwhile, you can ask your paediatrician for iron or nutrition supplements, so that she has no nutritional deficiency issues.
Four years ago, Marina was three times older than her daughter. Six years from now, Marina will be twice as old as her daughter. What are their present ages?
Let’s say that the present age of Marina’s daughter is ‘x’ years. Then 4 years ago, her age was (x - 4) years. Therefore, Marina’s age 4 years ago was: (x - 4) + 3(x - 4) = 4(x - 4) years. 6 years from now, the daughter’s age will be (x + 6) years, and Marina’s age will be: 2(x + 6) years.Now, 6 years from now will be (6+4), i.e., 10 years away from 4 years ago. Thus, Marina’s age 6 years from now can also be written as 4(x - 4) + 10 = (4x - 6) years. Therefore, 2(x + 6) = 4x - 6.Or, 2x + 12 = 4x - 6.Or, 2x = 18.Thus, the daughter’s age (x) = 9 years, and Marina’s present age = 4(x - 4) + 4 = 24 years.The following infographic on answering Aptitude type questions on Averages could be useful:You may also be interested in the following aptitude questions:Quantitative Aptitude Test: AgesOnline Aptitude Test Questions
I am 25, not yet settled and depressed about my career. I have written a lot of competitive exams and failed in all the exams. What should I do?
Sadly… This is life. My mom always tells me that Life isnt a golden platter. Everyone has a bad phase in life and this is just your bad phase. the way it came, it’ll go as well.Let me tell you my story. A bachelor and Masters Degree from a Top B School in India. Second Masters degree from Abroad. I am still jobless. Everyday I see my friends as compared to whom I am way much smarter working in really good firms in Mumbai and Delhi. When I wake up and I see people getting dressed and leaving for Office, I feel someone is piercing my chest with a very sharp knife. But I am helpless. I have given nearly 150 job applications, 20 interviews but still at the last moment some shit happens and I lose it.When this Wasn’t enough, the Love of my life turned out to be a hopeless cheating loser. When I somehow managed to cope with these two sorrows, I lost a Family Member.Hence, I sometimes feel like screaming at God for doing so bad with me for no fault of mine. I believe that every human has an emotional threshold, which once crossed, we fall apart.This is life mate. Everywhere u see you will find injustice and unfairity but we have to live with it. I trust myself that academically I was Smart, hardworking and today the only problem is luck isn’t on my side. Its the same to you. Its just your bad phase and everything is gonna pass soon and you’ll see success in your career. You are just 25, you have a long way to go. To hell with all the negative minded people in your life. Don’t be very hard on yourself. Just have a little more patience. Trust me when I say this - “ONE DAY, EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY.”
How old are the members of BTS?
Actually it's kind of complicated. But I'll try my best to answer.The Korean Age System is a lot different compared to other birth date systems. Koreans believe that when you are born, you’re already 1 year old. You become a year older every New Years Day. This makes you a year or two older than you actually are. Since you are 1 year old at birth and you become a year older every 1st of January you are actually 2 years older than your international age until your birthday comes again. This means you are only a year older than international age once your birthday has passed until it’s the 1st of January.Now, onto the members’ ages:Kim Seokjin, born 1992 4th December.International Age: 25 years.Korean age: 27 years.Min Yoongi (Suga), born 1993, 9th March.International age: 25 years.Korean age: 27 years.Jung Hoseok (J-hope), born 1994, 18th February.International age: 24 years.Korean age: 26 years.Kim Namjoon, (RM), born 1994, 12th September.International age: 22 years.Korean age: 24 years.Park Jimin, born 13th October, 1995.International age: 22 years.Korean age: 24 years.Kim Taehyung, born 31st December, 1995.International age: 22 years.Korean age: 24 years.Jeon Jeongguk (Jungkook), born September 1st, 1997.International age: 21 years.Korean age: 23 years.Andddddd that's about it. I hope this actually helped. Some info may not be correct since this all is coming from a non Korean and I have just consulted Wikipedia and several other sources.
