Solution:

Let the age of the daughter five years ago be x. Then Katie's age will be 5x.

Present age
Daughter = x + 5
Katie = 5x + 5

After 5 years
Daughter's age = x + 10
Katie's age = 5x + 5 + 5 = 5x + 10

Now consider the question again. We know that five years from present, Katie's age will be 8 less than three times the corresponding age of her daughter. Thus if we add eight to the Katie's age, five years from now and make her daughter's age 3 times more, we can easily find out x.

5x + 10 + 8 = 3(x + 10)
5x + 18 = 3x + 30
5x - 3x = 30 - 18
2x = 12
x = 12 / 2
x = 6

Katie's Present age is 5x + 5
=> 5(6) + 5
= 30 + 5
= 35 Years

Her daughter's Present age is x + 5
=> 6 + 5
= 11 Years

Solution:

Side A = 3 Cannibals, 3 missionaries
Side B = 0 Cannibals, 0 missionaries

1 cannibal and 1 missionary goes in the boat
Side A = 2 Cannibals, 2 missionaries
Side B = 1 Cannibals, 1 missionaries

1 missionary returns back and 2 cannibals go there
Side A = 0 Cannibals, 3 missionaries
Side B = 3 Cannibals, 0 missionaries

1 cannibal returns and 2 missionaries go
Side A = 1 Cannibals, 1 missionaries
Side B = 2 Cannibals, 2 missionaries

1 missionary and 1 cannibal return and 2 missionaries go
Side A = 2 Cannibals, 0 missionaries
Side B = 1 Cannibals, 3 missionaries

One cannibal back, two cannibals go
Side A = 1 Cannibals, 0 missionaries
Side B = 2 Cannibals, 3 missionaries

One cannibal back, two cannibals go
Side A = 0 Cannibals, 0 missionaries
Side B = 3 Cannibals, 3 missionaries

Thus all have crossed successfully

Solution:

Fill the 3 quart bucket (5 quart bucket has 0 quarts and 3 quart bucket has 3 quarts)

Pour it entirely in the 5 quart bucket (5 quart bucket has 3 quarts and 3 quart bucket has 0 quarts)

Fill the 3 quart bucket (5 quart bucket has 3 quarts and 3 quart bucket has 3 quarts)

Pour the contents to fill the 5 quart bucket (5 quart bucket has 5 quarts and 3 quart bucket has 1 quart)

Empty down the 5 quart bucket (5 quart bucket has 0 quarts and 3 quart bucket has 1 quart)

Pour the water from 1 quart bucket to 5 quart bucket (5 quart bucket has 1 quart and 3 quart bucket has 0 quart)

Fill the 3 quart bucket (5 quart bucket has 1 quart and 3 quart bucket has 3 quarts)

Pour the contents from 3 quart bucket to 5 quart bucket (5 quart bucket has 4 quarts and 3 quart bucket has 0 quarts)

We are done and it took us eight steps to measure exactly 4 quarts of water.

Solution:

Keep one coin from the first set and place it on the scale along with the two from the second set etc. If the weight is off by one hundredth of an ounce, then you will know that it is the first set that is faulty and if the weight is off by two hundred of an ounce, then the second set is faulty and so on.
