Q:

The probability that z lies between 0 and 3.01

A) 0.4987 B) 0.5
C) 0.9987 D) 0.1217
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 0.4987

Explanation:

Probability between z = 0 and z = 3.01 is given by

P(0<z<3.01) = P(z<3.01) - P(z<0)

Reading from the z-table, we have

P(z<0) = 0.5

P(z<3.01) = 0.9987

Hence, P(0<z<3.01) = 0.9987 - 0.5 = 0.4987.

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 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*12002*12000 =5%


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


Thus, I is redundant.



Hence, I or III redundan
