Q:

On Rs. 3500 invested at a simple interest rate of 7 per cent per annum, Rs. 500 is obtained as interest in certain years. In order to earn Rs. 800 as interest on Rs. 4900 in the same number of years, what should be the rate of simple interest?

A) 8% B) 7.5%
C) 9% D) 8.5%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 8%

Explanation:

From the given data,

3500x7xt/100 = 500

=> t = 100/49 years

Now, in the second case

The interest per year = 49/100 x 800 = 392

 => 4900 x 1 x r/100 = 392

=> r = 8%

Q:

Two dice are rolled simultaneously. Find the probability of getting a total of 9.

A) 1/3 B) 1/9
C) 8/9 D) 9/10
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 1/9

Explanation:

S = { (1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4),(1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 1), (2, 2),.........(6, 5), (6, 6) }

=> n(S) = 6 x 6 = 36

E = {(6, 3), (5, 4), (4, 5), (3, 6) }

=> n(E) = 4

Therefore, P(E) = 4/36 = 1/9

Q:

A train-A passes a stationary train B and a pole in 24 sec and 9 sec respectively. If the speed of train A is 48 kmph, what is the length of train B?

A) 200 mts B) 180 mts
C) 160 mts D) 145 mts
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 200 mts

Explanation:

Length of train A = 48 x 9 x 5/18 = 120 mts

Length of train B = 48 x 24 x 5/18 - 120

=> 320 - 120 = 200 mts.

Q:

The total simple interest earned on a sum of money increases by Rs. 600 when the rate of interest increases by 2% per annum. If the investment was made for 5 years, find the sum of money that was invested ?

A) Rs. 6000 B) Rs. 5550
C) Rs. 7500 D) Rs. 6580
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 6000

Explanation:

Let the sum invested be Rs. P

Let the rate of interest be R% per annum

=> Interest earned for 5 years = (P x 5 x R/100) = PR/20

Now, given that the interest earned increased by Rs. 600 if the Rate increased to (R+2)%

=> SI = (P x 5 x (R+2))/100 = PR/20 + 10P/100

Hence,

PR/20 + 10P/100 = PR/20 + 600

=> P = 6000

Therefore, the sum invested is Rs. 6000

Q:

100 percent of which number is 20?

A) 100 B) 500
C) 20 D) 0
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 20

Explanation:

Let the rquired number be 'P'

According to the question,

100 x P100 = 20=> P = 20 x 100100 = 20

Hence, 100 percent of the number 20 is 20.

 

Now, you can also try for

20 percent of what number is 100

20 x P100 = 100=> P = 100 x 10020 = 500=> P = 500

Hence, 20 percent of the number 500 is 100.
