Q:

In how many different ways can the letters of the word 'CORPORATION' be arranged so that the vowels always come together

A) 50000 B) 40500
C) 5040 D) 50400
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 50400

Explanation:

In the word 'CORPORATION', we treat the vowels OOAIO as one letter.

 

Thus, we have CRPRTN (OOAIO).

 

This has 7 (6 + 1) letters of which R occurs 2 times and the rest are different.

 

Number of ways arranging these letters =7!/2!= 2520.

 

Now, 5 vowels in which O occurs 3 times and the rest are different, can be arranged in 3!/5!= 20 ways.

 

Required number of ways = (2520 x 20) = 50400.

Q:

An automobile financier claims to be lending money at S.I., but he includes the interest every six months for calculating the principal. If he is charging an interest of 8%, the effective rate of interest becomes ?

A) 10.25 % B) 8.16 %
C) 9.63 % D) 0.16 %
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 8.16 %

Explanation:

Let the sum be Rs. 100. Then,
S.I. for first 6 months = (100 x 8 x 1) / (100 x 2) = Rs. 4
S.I. for last 6 months = (104 x 8 x 1) / (100 x 2) = Rs. 4.16
So, amount at the end of 1 year = (100 + 4 + 4.16) = Rs. 108.16
Effective rate = (108.16 - 100) = 8.16%.

Q:

The sum of 3rd and 15th elements of an arithmetic progression is equal to the sum of 6th, 11th and 13th elements of the same progression. Then which element of the series should necessarily be equal to zero ?

A) 14th element B) 9th element
C) 12th element D) 7th element
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 12th element

Explanation:

If we consider the third term to be ‘x”
The 15th term will be (x + 12d)
6th term will be (x + 3d)
11th term will be (x + 8d) and
13th term will be (x + 10d).
Thus, as per the given condition, 2x + 12d = 3x + 21d.Or x + 9d = 0.
x + 9d will be the 12th term.

Thus, 12th term of the A.P will be zero.

A) 153600 B) 143600
C) 13600 D) 16300
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 153600

Explanation:

Let length = 3x metres and breadth = 2x metres.

Then, 2(3x + 2x) = 1600 or x = 160.

Length = 480 m and Breadth = 320 m.Area = (480 x 320) sq.m = 153600 sq.m
