Q:

A sum of Rs. 8,000 is deposited for 3 years at 5% per annum compound interest (compounded annually). The difference of interest for 3 years and 2 years will be

 

A) Rs. 387 B) Rs. 441
C) Rs. 469 D) Rs. 503
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 441

Explanation:

Given principal amount = Rs. 8000

Time = 3yrs

Rate = 5%

C.I for 3 yrs = 8000 x 105100 x 105100 x 105100 - 8000= Rs. 1261

 

Now, C.I for 2 yrs = 8000 x 105100 x 105100= Rs. 820 

 

Hence, the required difference in C.I is 1261 - 820 = Rs. 441

Q:

A train 125 m long passes a man, running at 4 km/hr in the same direction in which the train is going, in 10 seconds. The speed of the train is:

A) 49 kmph B) 50 kmph
C) 51 kmph D) 52 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 49 kmph

Explanation:

Speed of the train relative to man

= (125/10) m/sec = (25/2) m/sec.

[(25/2) x (18/5)] km/hr = 45 km/hr.

Let the speed of the train be 'x' km/hr.

Then, relative speed = (x - 4) km/hr.

x - 4 = 45 => x = 49 km/hr.
