Q:

A sum of money amounts to Rs.6690 after 3 years and to Rs.10,035 after 6 years on compound interest.find the sum.

 A) 4360 B) 4460 C) 4560 D) 4660

Explanation:

Let the sum be Rs.P.then
P(1+R/100)^3=6690…(i) and P(1+R/100)^6=10035…(ii)
On dividing,we get (1+R/100)^3=10025/6690=3/2.
Substituting this value in (i),we get:
P*(3/2)=6690 or P=(6690*2/3)=4460
Hence,the sum is rs.4460.

Q:

If the diagonal of a rectangle is 17cm long and its perimeter is 46 cm. Find the area of the rectangle.

 A) 110 B) 120 C) 130 D) 140

Explanation:

let length = x and breadth = y then

2(x+y) = 46  $\inline \fn_cm \Rightarrow$  x+y = 23

x²+y² = 17² = 289

now (x+y)² = 23²

$\inline \fn_cm \Rightarrow$x²+y²+2xy= 529

289+ 2xy = 529

$\inline \fn_cm \Rightarrow$ xy = 120

area = xy = 120 sq.cm

Q:

The length of a rectangular hall is 5m more than its breadth. The area of the hall is 750 m. The length of the hall is

 A) 20 B) 25 C) 30 D) 35

Explanation:

Then, length = (x+5)m

x(x+5) = 750

x² + 5x - 750= 0

(x+30)(x-25)= 0

x = 25

Q:

What is the rate of interest p.c.p.a.?

I. An amount doubles itself in 5 years on simple interest.

II. Difference between the compound interest and the simple interest earned on a certain amount in 2 years is Rs. 400.

III. Simple interest earned per annum is Rs. 2000

 A) I only B) II and III only C) All I, II and III D) I only or II and III only

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) I only or II and III only

Explanation:

$\inline \fn_jvn I. \frac{P\times R\times 5}{100}=P\Rightarrow R=20$

$\inline \fn_jvn II.P\left ( 1+\frac{R}{100} \right )^2-P-\frac{P\times R\times 2}{100}=400\Rightarrow pR^{2}=4000000$

$\inline \fn_jvn III.\frac{P\times R\times 1}{100}=2000\Rightarrow PR=200000$

$\inline \fn_jvn \therefore \frac{PR^{2}}{PR}=\frac{4000000}{200000}\Rightarrow R=20$

Thus I only or (II and III) give answer.

$\inline \fn_jvn \therefore$ Correct answer is (D)
