Q:

An amount of money was lent for 3 years. What will be the difference between the simple and the compound interest earned on it at the same rate?
I. The rate of interest was 8 p.c.p.a.
II. The total amount of simple interest was Rs. 1200

A) I alone sufficient while II alone not sufficient to answer	B) alone sufficient while I alone not sufficient to answer
C) Both I and II are not sufficient to answer	D) Both I and II are necessary to answer

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Both I and II are necessary to answer

Explanation:

Given: T = 3 years.
I. gives: R = 8% p.a.
II. gives: S.I. = Rs. 1200.
Thus, P = Rs. 5000, R = 8% p.a. and T = 3 years.
Difference between C.I. and S.I. may be obtained.
So, the correct answer is (D).

Q:

Why is Golden Rice pale yellow in color?

A) Rich in Beta-Carotene	B) Rich in Phycobilins
C) Rich in Chlorophyll	D) None

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rich in Beta-Carotene

Explanation:

Golden Rice (Oryza sativa) denotes a genetically modified rice capable of biosynthesizing and accumulating β-carotene (provitamin A) in the endosperm, yielding a characteristic yellow color in the polished grains. Golden rice was developed to help cope with vitamin A deficiency, a problem that prevails in developing countries, affecting millions (Underwood, 2000; UNICEF, 2000). Vitamin A deficiency causes mortality and growth retardation in children and frequently impairs vision, leading to blindness. It also contributes indirectly to anemia by interfering with iron bioavailability.

The endosperm of Golden Rice (Oryza sativa) is yellow due to the accumulation of β-carotene (provitamin A) and xanthophylls. The product of the two carotenoid biosynthesis transgenes used in Golden Rice results in Pale Yellow color.

Q:

A jar was full with honey. A person used to draw out 20% of the honey from the jar and replaced it with sugar solution. He has repeated the same process 4 times and thus there was only 512 gm of honey left in the jar, the rest part of the jar was filled with the sugar solution. The initial amount of honey in the jar was:

A) 1.25 kg	B) 1 kg
C) 1.5 kg	D) None of these

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 1.25 kg

Explanation:

Let the initial amount of honey in the jar was k, then

$512 = k {(1 - \frac{1}{5})}^{4} o r 512 = k {(\frac{4}{5})}^{4}$

=> $k = \frac{512 \times 625}{256}$

=> k = 1250

Hence initially the honey in the jar = 1.25 kg

Q:

Compound interest on a certain sum of money at 20% per annum for 2 years is Rs.5995. What is the SI on the same money at 8% per annum for 6 years ?

A) Rs. 5989	B) Rs. 6540
C) Rs. 7844	D) Rs. 6789

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 6540

Explanation:

Given C.I = 5984, R = 20% , T = 2yrs

$C . I = P [(1 + {(\frac{20}{100})}^{2}) - 1]$

5984 = $C.I=P\left [ \left ( 1&amp;plus;\left ( \frac{20}{100}\right )^{2} \right )-1 \right ]$

=> P = (5995x25)/11

P = Rs. 13625

Now S.I = PTR/100

SI = (13625 x 8 x 6)/100 = Rs. 6540
