Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The presentation was based on findings from PISA 2022 results and the webinar helped launch the PISA in Focus ‘Managing screen time: How to protect and equip students against distraction’ https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/education/managing-screen-time_7c225af4-en and the OECD Education Policy Perspective ‘Students, digital devices and success’ can be found here - https://oe.cd/il/5yV
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

v. Different timeline
3. 1) INTRODUCTION
It is easy to solve all these problems by equations but your
objective in exam should be solving these problems in the
easiest way which saves more than half the time compared to
solving by equation.
The easiest way in solving these questions will be by picking
the right answer among the four options using the ratio or
the values given in the question.
4. 2) Forming equations
Statement Equation
A’s age 3 years later (after / hence / down the line) A+3
A’s age 3 years ago A-3
A is 3 years older than B A = B + 3
A is 3 years younger than B A = B - 3
A is 3 times (thrice) as old as B A = 3B
A is 3 times older than B (or)
A is 3 times older to B
A = B + 3B =>
A = 4B
Father was as old as his son at present, at the time of
his birth.
F - S = S =>
F = 2S
The present age ratio of A and B is 5:6.
Four years hence (or after) their age ratio will be 6:7.
A/B = 5/6
(A+4) / (B+4) = 6:7.
5. 3) Solving the questions by using GENERAL EQUATION
Example: The sum of the present ages of a son and his
father is 60 years. Six years ago, father's age was five times
the age of the son. After 6 years, what will be son's age?
S+F = 60
F-6 = 5(S-6)
S+6 = ?
Eq 2 becomes F-6 = 5S – 30
F = 5S – 24
Substitute this is Eq 1: S + F = 60
S + (5S – 24) = 60
6S = 84
S = 14
S+6 = 20
∴ The age of the son after 6 years is 20
6. 4) Solving the question by using TRICKS
Avoid using variables x & y always as there is a chance of
going wrong in relating the variables with the persons given.
Instead, using the first letter will make the relating easy.
For example S can be used as son’s age and F can be used as
father’s age.
7. Trick 1: Multiple of the ratio
Example: Present ages of Kiran and Shyam are in the ratio
of 5 : 4 respectively. Three years hence, the ratio of their
ages will become 11 : 9 respectively. What is Shyam's
present age in years?
A. 24
B. 22
C. 26
D. 28
8. Now: The age of Kiran and Shyam is in the ratio 5:4.
∴ Shyam’s age should be in the multiple of 4.
Only option a and d are having the age of Shyam in the
multiple of 4. The answer should be either a)24 or d)28.
After 3 years:
Kiran’s age – a)24+3=27 or d)28+3=31
The age of Kiran and Shyam will be in the ratio 11:9.
∴ Shyam’s age should be in the multiple of 9.
Only a)27 is in the multiple of 9.
∴ Shyam’s present age is a)24.
9. Example 1. One year ago, the ratio of Sooraj's and
Vimal's age was 6: 7 respectively. Four years hence, this
ratio would become 7: 8. How old is Vimal?
A.44Years
B.43 years
C.49 Years
D.36 Years
10. Trick 2: Ratio difference
Example: Alan is younger than Turing by 6 years and their
ages are in the respective ratio of 7 : 9, how old is Turing?
A. 18
B. 27
C. 35
D. 36
11. The age of Alan and Turing is in the ratio 7:9.
The age difference between them is 6.
Equate the ratio difference and age difference
7:9
2 parts
6
2 parts = 6
1 part = 3
9 parts = 27
∴ The age of Turing is 27
12. Example 2. The ratio between the present ages of P and Q
is 6:7. If Q is 4 years old than P, what will be the ratio of
the ages of P and Q after 4 years.
A)7:9
B)3:8
C)7:8
D)5:8
13. Trick 3: Divisible values
Example: A person's present age is two-fifth of the age of his
mother. After 8 years, he will be one-half of the age of his
mother. What is the present age of the mother?
A. 62
B. 45
C. 40
D. 56
14. Now: P= 2/5 M
This indicates that M should be divisible by 5.
Only options b) 45 and c) 40 are divisible by 5.
After 8 years:
M+8= b) 45+8 = 53 or c)40+8 = 48
P+8 = ½(M+8)
This indicates that M+8 should be divisible by 2.
Only option c)48 is divisible by 2.
∴ Mother’s age is c) 40
15. Example 3. Sandeep's age after six years will be three-
seventh of his father's age. Ten years ago the ratio of
their ages was 1 : 5. What is Sandeep's father's age at
present?
A. 43 Years
B. 60Years
C. 50 Years
D. 56 Years
16. Trick 4: Change in ratio
Example: Father is aged three times more than his son
Sunil. After 8 years, he would be two and a half times of
Sunil's age. After further 8 years, how many times would he
be of Sunil's age?
A. 2 times
B. 3 times
C. 4 times
D. 5 times
17. Now : F:S = 3:1
After 8 years : F:S = 2½:1
After 16 years: ?
As the years passes the ratio of the ages will always
decrease.
So after 16 years the ratio should be < 2½ :1
Only option a) 2 is less than 2½
18. Trick 5 : Different timeline
Example: Ayesha's father was 38 years of age when she
was born while her mother was 36 years old when her
brother four years younger to her was born. What is the
difference between the ages of her parents?
A. 6 Years
B. 5 Years
C. 7 Years
D. 6.5 Years
19. Ayesha's Father was 38 years old when she was born
F A
38 0
Her Mother was 36 years old when her Brother was born.
M B
360
Her Brother is four years younger to her
B A
0 4
As these three equations are not in the same timeline, compare the
values and make it same.
Eq 2 & Eq 3: The common value B is already same.
Eq 1 & Eq 3: A=0 & A=4. To make it equal add 4 with eq1.
F A
424
∴ F A M B
42 4 36 0
The difference between F and M is 6.
20. Example 5. A father said to his son, "I was as old as you
are at the present at the time of your birth". If the
father's age is 38 years now, what was the son's age five
years back?
A.14 Years
B.15 Years
C.16 Years
D.18 Years
22. Q1. The total age of A and B is 12 years more than the
total age of B and C. C is how many year younger than
A?
A.12
B.13
C.14
D.15
23. Q2.The sum of ages of 5 children born at the intervals
of 3 years each is 50 years. What is the age of the
youngest child?
A.2
B.4
C.6
D.10
24. Q3.Ages of two person differ by 16 years. If 6 year ago,
the elder one be 3 times as old the younger one, find
their present age.
A.36, 16
B.30, 14
C.24, 8
D.30, 10
25. Q4. Steve is older than Mark by 6 years. If the ratio of
their current ages is 7:9, what will be the corresponding
new ratio of their ages when Mark is twice as old as he
is now?
A.7:8
B.4:7
C.3:9
D.1:4
27. Some Basic Formulae:
(a + b)(a - b) = (a2 - b2)
(a + b)2 = (a2 + b2 + 2ab)
(a - b)2 = (a2 + b2 - 2ab)
(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2(ab + bc + ca)
(a3 + b3) = (a + b)(a2 - ab + b2)
(a3 - b3) = (a - b)(a2 + ab + b2)
(a3 + b3 + c3 - 3abc) = (a + b + c)(a2 + b2 + c2 - ab - bc -
ac)
When a + b + c = 0, then a3 + b3 + c3 = 3abc.
28. A two digit number can be represented as 10x+y where x
and y are the two digits.
Similarly a three digit number as 100x+10y+z and so on.
29. Q1. If one-third of one-fourth of a number is 15, then
three-tenth of that number is:

difference of the digits of the number if the ratio
between the digits of the number is 1 : 2 ?
A.8
B.16
C.4
D.12
31. Q3. Three times the first of three consecutive odd
integers is 3 more than twice the third. The third integer
is:
A.15
B.14

Editor's Notes
Explanation:
Let the age of Sooraj and Vimal, 1 year ago, be 6x and 7xrespectively.Given that, four years hence, this ratio would become 7:8⇒(6x+5):(7x+5)=7:8
⇒8(6x+5)=7(7x+5)
⇒48x+40=49x+35
⇒x=5Vimal's present age=7x+1=7×5+1=36
Let P age and Q age is 6x years and 7x years.Then 7x - 6x = 4 <=> x = 4So required ratio will be (6x+4): (7x+4) => 28:32 => 7:8
Explanation:
Let the age of Sandeep and his father before 10 years be x and 5x respectively.Given that Sandeep's age after six years will be three-seventh of his father's age⇒x+16=3/7(5x+16)
⇒7x+112=15x+48
⇒8x=64
⇒x=8
Sandeep's father's present age=5x+10=5×8+10=50
Let son's present age be xx years. Then,(38−x)=x
⇒2x=38
⇒x=382=19Son's age 55 years back =19−5=14
Ratio difference = 9-7=2 unitsAge difference = 42 units ---------- 47 units --------- ?Mark age = 14 yearsSimilarly Steve age = 18 yearsMark is twice as old as he is age = 14 +14 =28At the same time Steve age = 18+14 = 32New ratio = 7:8
