Q:

The difference between Simple Interest and Compound Interest at the rate of 12% on the same amount for 3 years is Rs. 112.32. What is the principal amount if interest is compounded annually?

A) Rs. 25000 B) Rs. 2500
C) Rs. 50000 D) Rs. 5000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 2500

Explanation:

Let the principal amount be Rs. x
Calculating SI:
SI for 1 year at 12% rate is Rs (12/100)*x. For 3 years it will be Rs (36/100)*x ------ (1)
Calculating CI:
For 1st year, Interest = (12/100)*x
For 2nd year, interest = (12/100)*x + (12/100)*x + (144/10000)*x
For 3rd year, interest = (12/100)*x + (12/100)*x + (12/100)*x + (144/10000)*x + (144/10000)*x + (1728/1000000)*x. ------ (2)
Subtracting equation 2 and 1 and solving further,
312*144*x/1000000 = 112.32
X = Rs 2500.
Alternative way: Using formula for Difference
between CI and SI for 3 years

we can also use the above formula to find the value of P.

Q:

When Ionic bonds are formed metallic atoms tend to

A) share electrons B) gain electrons
C) lose electrons D) None of above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) lose electrons

Explanation:

Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions. In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.

 

Hence, when Ionic bonds are formed metallic atoms tend to lose electrons and become positive ions
