Q:

A person lends Rs. 300 to A at 4% and Rs.540 to B at 6% for the same time. if the total amount that he gets at the end is Rs. 1032. What is the time?

Answer

Money lent to A+B = (300 + 540) = Rs. 840 


Amount received = Rs. 1032 


Interest received = Rs. 1032 - Rs.840 = Rs. 192


 


Interest on Rs. 300 lent to A for 1 year = 300×1×4100 = Rs. 12 


 


Interest on Rs.540 lent to B for 1 year = 540×6×1100 = Rs. 36 


 


 


Total yearly interest = Rs.(12+36) = Rs.48 


If interest is Rs. 48, time = 1 year 


If interest is Rs. 192, time =  192/48 = 4 years

Q:

12 days payment to the servant in a cloth showroom in festival season is Rs. 400 plus one shirt. The servant leaves after 9 days and recieves Rs. 280 and a shirt. What is the price of the shirt ? 

A) Rs. 80 B) Rs. 120
C) Rs. 70 D) Rs. 100
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 80

Explanation:

The servant worked for 9 days instead of 12 days, he should receive 9/12 of his total payment

Let the price of 1 shirt be Rs. S 

i.e., 3/4 (400 + S).

However, the question states that the servant receive Rs. 280 + S where S is the price of the shirt.

By equating the two equations we get 3/4 (400 + S) = 280 + S.

Therefore, Price of the shirt S = Rs. 80.

C) Cyclonic rainfall D) Orographic rainfall
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Orographic rainfall

Explanation:

Orographic precipitation or Rain produced when moist air is lifted as it moves over a mountain range. As the air rises and cools, orographic clouds form and serve as the source of the precipitation, most of which falls upwind of the mountain ridge.

 

Some also falls a short distance downwind of the ridge and is sometimes called spillover. On the lee side of the mountain range, rainfall is usually low, and the area is said to be in a Rain Shadow

Q:

The top and bottom of a tower were seen to be at angles of depression 30° and 60° from the top of a hill of height 100 m. Find the height of the tower ?

A) 42.2 mts B) 33.45 mts
C) 66.6 mts D) 58.78 mts
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 66.6 mts

Explanation:

ht1488353450.jpg image

From above diagram
AC represents the hill and DE represents the tower

Given that AC = 100 m

angleXAD = angleADB = 30° (∵ AX || BD )
angleXAE = angleAEC = 60° (∵ AX || CE)

Let DE = h

Then, BC = DE = h, AB = (100-h) (∵ AC=100 and BC = h), BD = CE

tan 60°=AC/CE => √3 = 100/CE =>CE = 100/√3 ----- (1)

tan 30° = AB/BD => 1/√3 = 100−h/BD => BD = 100−h(√3)
∵ BD = CE and Substitute the value of CE from equation 1
100/√3 = 100−h(√3) => h = 66.66 mts

The height of the tower = 66.66 mts.
