Q:

If (4a +7b) (4c-7d) = (4a -7b) (4c +7d, then which one of the following is correct ?

A) a/b = c/d B) a/d = c/b
C) a/b = d/c D) none
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) a/b = c/d

Explanation:

(4a+7b)(4c-7d) = (4a-7b)(4c+7d)

(4a+7b)/(4a-7b) = (4c+7d)/(4c-7d)

Using componendo and dividendo

(4a+7b)+(4a-7b) / (4a+7b)-(4a-7b)

= (4c+7d)+(4c-7d) / (4c+7d)-(4c-7d)

Or 8a/14b = 8c/14d

Or a/b = c/d

Q:

Twenty percent of Karthik’s monthly salary is equal to thirty two percent of Nikitha’s monthly salary. Vipin’s monthly salary is four fifth that of Nikitha’s monthly salary. If Vipin’s annual salary is Rs. 3.84 lakhs, what is Karthik’s monthly salary?

A) 32,000 B) 64,000
C) 40,000 D) 52,000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 64,000

Explanation:

From the given data,

20% of K = 32% of N

V = 4/5 N

 

Given Vipin's salary = 3.84 lpa = 3.84/12 = 32,000 per month

Now, N = 5/4 x 32000 = 40000

Now K = 32/20 x 40000 = 64000

 

Hence, karthik's monthly salary = Rs. 64000.

Q:

Mr. Gupta borrowed a sum of money on compound interest. What will be the amount to be repaid if he is repaying the entire amount at the end of 2 years?

I. The rate of interest is 5 p.c.p.a.

II. Simple interest fetched on the same amount in one year is Rs. 600.

III. The amount borrowed is 10 times the simple interest in 2 years.

A) I only B) III only
C) I or II only D) .II and Either I or III only
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) .II and Either I or III only

Explanation:

 

 

I. gives, Rate = 5% p.a.

 

II. gives, S.I. for 1 year = Rs. 600.

 

III. gives, sum = 10 x (S.I. for 2 years).

 

Now I, and II give the sum.

 

For this sum, C.I. and hence amount can be obtained.

 

Thus, III is redundant.

 

Again, II gives S.I. for 2 years = Rs. (600 x 2) = Rs. 1200.

 

Now, from III, Sum = Rs. (10 x 1200) = Rs . 12000.

 

Thus, Rate =

 

100 x 1200

 

= 5% p.a.

 

2 x 12000

 

Thus, C.I. for 2 years and therefore, amount can be obtained.

 

Thus, I is redundant.

 

Hence, I or III redundant.
