Q:

Find the compound interest on Rs. 6,500 for 4 years if the rate of interest is 10% p.a. for the first 2 years and 20% per annum for the next 2 years? 

A) Rs. 3845 B) Rs. 4826
C) Rs. 5142 D) Rs. 4415
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 4826

Explanation:

We know the formula for calculating

The compound interest C = P1 + r100n - 1 where P = amount, r = rate of interest, n = time

Here P = 5000, r1 = 10, r2 = 20

Then C = 65001 + 101002 x 1 + 201002 - 1= 6500 x 18562500= 65 x 185625

C = Rs. 4826.

Five times the number of jems with Raghu equals seven times the number of jems with Maneela while five times the number of jems with Maneela equals seven times the number of jems with Aravind. What is the minimum number of jems that can be there with all three of them put together ?

A) 108 B) 107
C) 109 D) 110
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 109

Explanation:

From given data,

R : M = 5 : 7

M : A = 5 : 7

R : M : A = 25 : 35 : 49

Q:

If a person having Rs. 2000 and he want to distribute this to his five children in the manner that each son having Rs. 30 more than the younger one , what will be the share of youngest child ?

A) Rs. 175 B) Rs. 325
C) Rs. 340 D) Rs. 260
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs. 340

Explanation:

Assume first child (the youngest) get = Rs. x

According to the question ;
each son having Rs. 30 more than the younger one

Second child will get = Rs. x + 30
Third child will get = Rs. x + 30 + 30 = x + 60
Forth child will get = Rs. x + 30 + 30 + 30 = x + 90
Fifth child will get = Rs. x + 30 + 30 + 30 + 30 = x + 120

Total amount they got = Rs. 2000

x + (x+30) + (x+60) + (x+90) + (x+120) = 2000
5x + 300 = 2000
5x = 1700
x = Rs. 340
So the youngest child will get Rs. 340.

Which_compound_matches_the_IR_Spectrum11562648897.png image

A) 3 – Hexanol B) Trans – 4 – Octene
C) 1, 5 – Hexadiene D) None of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 1, 5 – Hexadiene

Explanation:

Infrared spectroscopy involves the interaction of infrared radiation with matter. It is used by chemists to determine functional groups in molecules. IR Spectroscopy measures the vibrations of atoms, and based on this it is possible to determine the functional groups.

Here in the given spectrum, there is no alcohol stretch present in the spectrum. There is no vinyl bending present in the spectrum.
 

Hence, both options B and C are compounds that are not matching with IR spectrum. 1, 5 – Hexadiene is the compound matches the IR Spectrum.

Q:

A certain sum of money is invested for one year at a certain rate of simple interest. If the rate of interest is 3% higher, then the invest earned will be 25% more than the interest earned earlier. What is the earlier rate of interest ?

A) 4% p.a. B) 6% p.a.
C) 8% p.a. D) 12% p.a.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 12% p.a.

Explanation:

If the interest earned is 25% more than the earlier interest then the rate of interest also should be 25% higher than the earlier rate.
Let the earlier rate of interest be x%.
Now it will be (x + 3)%
% increase = (x + 3) - x/x * 100 = 25
=> x = 12%
