C) Rs. 9828.80 D) Rs. 19328.80
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 19828.80

Explanation:

Let the sum be Rs. P
P{ 1+81002- 1 } = 2828.80

 

It is in the form of  a2-b2 = a+ba-b

 

P(8/100)(2 + 8/100) = 2828.80

 

P = 2828.80 / (0.08)(2.08)

 

= 1360/0.08 = 17000

 

Principal + Interest = Rs. 19828.80

Q:

Rajeev's age is four more than the age of Shilpa. The age of Shilpa can be obtained by subtracting four times her age 4 years ago from the four times her age after 4 years. What was Rajeev's age before 4 years ?

A) 36 years B) 28 years
C) 32 years D) 40 years
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 32 years

Explanation:

Let Shilpa's present age is p years

According to question,

p = 4(x+4) – 4(x–4)

p = 4x+16 – 4x+16

p = 32

Shilpa's present age = 32 years

Rajeev is four years older than Shilpa

=> Shilpa's present age = Rajeev's age 4 years before.

=> Rajeev's age 4 years before = 32 years.
