Q:

A sum is equally invested in two different schemes on CI at the rate of 15% and 20% for two years. If interest gained from the sum invested at 20% is Rs. 528.75 more than the sum invested at 15%, find the total sum?

A) Rs. 7000 B) Rs. 4500
C) Rs. 9000 D) Rs. 8200
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs. 9000

Explanation:

Let Rs. K invested in each scheme

Two years C.I on 20% = 20 + 20 + 20x20/100 = 44%

Two years C.I on 15% = 15 + 15 + 15x15/100 = 32.25%

Now,

(P x 44/100) - (P x 32.25/100) = 528.75

=> 11.75 P = 52875

=> P = Rs. 4500

 

Hence, total invested money = P + P = 4500 + 4500 = Rs. 9000.

A) 6 days B) 8 days
C) 11 days D) 13 days

Explanation:

M = 10 days

The ratio of efficiency of M & N are 3 : 2

Hence, the time rquired for N alone = 15 days

=> Required time taken t=by both to complete the work = M x N / M + N 

= 10 x 15/ 10 + 15

= 150/25

= 6 days.

Q:

What is the area of an obtuse angled triangle given below with two sides are 8 and 12 and the angle included between two sides is 150 deg?

A) 48 sq units B) 24 sq units
C) 12 sq units D) 6 sq units
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 24 sq units

Explanation:

We know that, 

The area of a triangle with two sides given and included angle

A = 1/2 x product of sides x Sin(angle) 

 

Here the two sides are 8 & 12

Angle = 150

 

Area = 1/2 x 8 x 12 x sin150

Sin(150) = sin(90+60) = cos(60) = 1/2

 

A = 48 x 1/2 = 24

Area of the given triangle = 24 sq units.
