Q:

A person lends Rs. 1540 for five years and Rs. 1800 for four years. If he gets Rs. 1788 as interest on both amounts, what is the rate of interest ?

A) 14.5% B) 11%
C) 12% D) 10.5%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 12%

Explanation:

Let the interest rate be r%

We know that,

S.I = PTR/100

=> (1540 x 5 x r)/100  +  (1800 x 4 x r)/100 = 1788

=> r = 178800/14900 = 12%

A) Friday B) Thursday
C) Saturday D) Wednesday
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Thursday

Explanation:

18 Feb, 2016 = (2015 years + Period from 1.1.2016 to 18.2.2016)

 

Odd days in 1600 years = 0

Odd days in 400 years = 0

15 years = (12 ordinary years + 3 leap year) = (12 x 1 + 3 x 2)= 4 odd days

 

Jan  Feb

(31 + 18 ) = 49 days

49 days = (7 weeks + 0 day)= 0 odd day.

 

Total number of odd days = (0 + 0 + 4 + 0) = 4 odd day.

 

Given day is Thursday

Q:

Rajesh rows in still water with a speed of 4.5 kmph to go to a certain place and comes back. Find his average speed for the whole journey, if the river is flowing with a speed of 1.5 kmph?

A) 2 kmph B) 4 kmph
C) 6 kmph D) 8 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 4 kmph

Explanation:

Let the distance in one direction = k kms

Speed in still water = 4.5 kmph

Speed of river = 1.5

Hence, speed in upstream = 4.5 - 1.5 = 3 kmph

Speed in downstream = 4.5 + 1.5 = 6 kmph

Time taken by Rajesh to row upwards = k/3 hrs

Time taken by Rajesh to row downwards = k/6 hrs

Now, required Average speed =Total distanceTotal speed = 2kk3 + k6 = 2k x 186k + 3k = 4 kmph 

 

Therefore, the average speed of the whole journey = 4kmph.

Q:

Kalyan purchased a Maruti van for Rs. 1,96,000 and the rate of depreciation is 14(2/7) % per annum. Find the value of the van after two years ?

A) Rs. 1,24,000 B) Rs. 1,44,000
C) Rs. 1,32,000 D) Rs. 1,62,000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 1,44,000

Explanation:

Value of Maruti Van, V1 = Rs. 1,96,000
Rate of depreciation, r = 14(2/7)% = 100/7%; Time, t = 2 years
Let V2 is the value after depreciation.

V2 = V11 - r100t
V2 = 196001 - 10071002

V2 = 196000(6/7)(6/7)

V2 = (196000x36)/49 = Rs. 1,44,000.
