Q:

A person lends Rs. 300 to A at 4% and Rs.540 to B at 6% for the same time. if the total amount that he gets at the end is Rs. 1032. What is the time?

Answer

Money lent to A+B = (300 + 540) = Rs. 840 


Amount received = Rs. 1032 


Interest received = Rs. 1032 - Rs.840 = Rs. 192


 


Interest on Rs. 300 lent to A for 1 year = 300×1×4100 = Rs. 12 


 


Interest on Rs.540 lent to B for 1 year = 540×6×1100 = Rs. 36 


 


 


Total yearly interest = Rs.(12+36) = Rs.48 


If interest is Rs. 48, time = 1 year 


If interest is Rs. 192, time =  192/48 = 4 years

Q:

There are 1650 students in a college. The difference between the number of boys and girls in the college is 400. What is the percentage of girls in the college ?

A) 49 B) 34
C) 43 D) 38
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 38

Explanation:

Let no. of boys be 'B' and no. of girls be 'G'

Here from given data,

B + G = 1650 .....(1)

B - G = 400 .....(2)

From (1) & (2), we get

2B = 2050

=> B = 1025

=> G = 1650 - 1025 = 625

Hence, the % of girls = 625 x 100/1650

=> 38% (approx).

Q:

The Number of times the digit 8 will be written when listing the integers from 1 to 1000 is :

A) 100 B) 200
C) 300 D) 400
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 300

Explanation:

 Since 8 does not occur in 1000, we have to count the number of times 8 occurs when we list the integers from 1 to 999. Any number between 1 and 999 is of the form xyz, where 0≤x,y,z≤9.

 

Let us first count the numbers in which 8 occurs exactly once.

 

Since 8 can occur atone place in 3C1ways. There are 3 x 9 x 9  such numbers.

 

Next, 8 can occur in exactly two places in 3C2×9 such numbers. Lastly, 8 can occur in all three digits in one number only.

  

Hence, the number of times 8 occur is 

 1×3×92+2×3×9+3×1 = 300
