Q:

In a two-digit number, if it is known that its unit's digit exceeds its ten's digit by 2 and that the product of the given number and the sum of its digits is equal to 144, then the number is :

A) 12 B) 24
C) 36 D) 48
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 24

Explanation:

Let the ten's digit be x.

 

Then, unit's digit = x + 2.

 

Number = 10x + (x + 2) = 11x + 2

 

Sum of digits = x + (x + 2) = 2x + 2.

 

(11x + 2) (2x + 2) = 144

=> 22x^2+26x-140=0

 

=> (x - 2)(11x + 35) = 0

 

=> x = 2

 

Hence, Required Number = 11x + 2 = 24

Q:

A man invests Rs.5000 for 3 years at 5% p.a. compound interest reckoned yearly. Income tax at the rate of 20% on the interest earned is deducted at the end of each year. Find the amount at the end of the third year

A) Rs.5624.32 B) Rs.5423
C) Rs.5634 D) Rs.5976
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs.5624.32

Explanation:

 

 

 

5% is the rate of interest. 20% of the interest amount is paid as tax.

 

i.e  80% of the interest amount stays back.

 

 if we compute the rate of interest as 80% of 5% = 4% p.a., we will get the same value.

  

The interest accrued for 3 years in compound interest = 3 x simple interest on principal + 3 x interest on simple interest + 1 x interest on interest on interest.

 

= 3 x (200) + 3 x (8) + 1 x 0.32 =600 + 24 + 0.32 = 624.32

 

 

 

The amount at the end of 3 years = 5000 + 624.32 = 5624.32
