A) 16% B) 14.5%
C) 12% D) 10.5%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 16%

Explanation:

Let cost of each cell phone = Rs.100 & Sale = 100 phones.

Money receipt = Rs.(100 x 100) = Rs.10,000

New cost per cellphone = Rs.120 and New sale = 70 phones

New Money Receipt = Rs.(70 x 120) = Rs.8400

Then the effect of sales = decrease in money receipt = 

160010000 x 100 = 16%.

Q:

Two payments of $10,000 each must be made one year and four years from now. If money can earn 9% compounded monthly, what single payment two years from now would be equivalent to the two scheduled payments?

A) 19296 B) 19396
C) 19496 D) 19596
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 19296

Explanation:

The single equivalent payment will be PV + FV.
FV = Future value of $10,000, 12 months later
 $10,000 *(1.0075)/12
 $10,938.07
PV=  Present value of $10,000, 24 months earlier
 $10,000/(1.0075)24
 $8358.31
The equivalent single payment is
$10,938.07 + $8358.31 = $19,296.38

Q:

A flagstaff 17.5 m high casts a shadow of length 40.25 m. What will be the height of a building, which casts a shadow of length 28.75 m under similar conditions ?  

A) 14 cm B) 13.5 cm
C) 12.5 cm D) 11.4 cm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 12.5 cm

Explanation:

Let the required height of the building be x meter

More shadow length, More height(direct proportion)

Hence we can write as

(shadow length) 40.25 : 28.75 :: 17.5 : x
⇒ 40.25 × x = 28.75 × 17.5
⇒ x = 28.75 × 17.5/40.25
= 2875 × 175/40250
= 2875 × 7/1610
= 2875/230
= 575/46
= 12.5 cm
