A) 34.76 years B) 32.48 years
C) 33.31 years D) 31.68 years
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 31.68 years

Explanation:

We know that 1 year = 365.25 days

1 day = 24 hours

1 hour = 60 minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds

 

=> 1 Year = 365.25 x 24 x 60 x 60 Seconds

But 1 billion seconds = ?

1 Year = 365.25 x 24 x 60 x 60 Seconds

    ?     =  1000000000 Seconds

 

? = 1000000000365.25 x 24 x 60 x 60 years = 31. 68 years.

Q:

At a certain rate of interest the compound interest of 3 years and simple interest of 5 years for certain sum of money is respectively Rs. 1513.2 and Rs. 2400. Find the common rate of interest per annum ?

A) 5% B) 6%
C) 4% D) 3%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 5%

Explanation:

Given compound interest for 3 years = Rs. 1513.2

 

and simple interest for 5 years = Rs. 2400

 

Now, we know that  C.I = P1+R100n - 1

 

=> 1513.2 = P1+R1003 - 1 ...........(A)

 

And S.I = PTR/100

 

=> 2400 = P5R/100 ..................(B)

 

By solving (A) & (B), we get

 

R = 5%.

Q:

The circumferences of two circles are 264 meters and 352 meters. Find the difference between the areas of the larger and the smaller circles  ?

A) 2413 sq.m B) 1234 sq.m
C) 4312 sq.m D) 2143 sq.m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 4312 sq.m

Explanation:

Let the radii of the smaller and the larger circles be 's' m and 'l' m respectively.  

 2πs = 264 and 2πl = 352  

 

 s = 2642π and l = 3522π   

Difference between the areas =πl2-πs2   

  = π1762π2-1322π2 

  = 1762π-1322π  

  = (176 - 132)(176 + 132) / π  

  = (44 x 308) / (22/7) = 4312 sq.m
