Q:

Prasanna invested certain amount in three different schemes X, Y and Z with the rate of interest 10% p.a, 12% p.a and 15% p.a respectively. If the total interest accrued in one year was Rs. 3200 and the amount invested in Scheme Z was 150% of the amount invested in Scheme X and 240% of the amount invested in Scheme Y, what was the amount invested in Scheme Y by Prasanna ?

A) Rs.6000 B) Rs.4500
C) Rs.7500 D) Rs.5000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Rs.5000

Explanation:

Let a, b and c be the amounts invested in schemes X, Y and Z respectively. Then,

As we know:

Simple interest (S.I.) = PTR/100

(a × 10 × 1/100) + (b × 12 × 1/100) + (c × 15 × 1/100) = 3200

= 10a + 12b + 15c = 320000 .........(1)

Now, c = 240% of b = 12b/5 .........(2)

And, c = 150% of a = 3a/2 => a = 2/3 c = (2 × 12)b/(3 × 5) = 8b/5 .......(3)

From (1), (2) and (3), we have

16b + 12b + 36b = 320000 => 64b = 320000 => b = 5000

∴ Sum invested in Scheme Y = Rs.5000.

Q:

Consider 5 independent Bernoulli’s trials each with probability of success p. If the probability of at least one failure is greater than or equal to 31/32 , then p lies in the interval ?

A) [1, 32] B) (0, 1)
C) [1, 1/2] D) (1, 1/2]
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) [1, 1/2]

Explanation:

Probability of atleast one failure
= 1 - no failure > 31/32
= 1 - P5 > 31/32
=  P5<1/32
= p < 1/2
Also p > 0
Hence p lies in [0,1/2].

Q:

A jogger running at 9 kmph alongside a railway track is 240 metres ahead of the engine of a 120 metre long train running at 45 kmph in the same direction. In how much time will the train pass the jogger  ?

A) 10 sec B) 48 sec
C) 36 sec D) 56 sec
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 36 sec

Explanation:

Given speed of jogger = 9 kmph
Speed of train = 45 kmph
As they are in same direction,
Relative speed = 45 - 9 = 36 kmph = 36x5/18 = 10 m/s
Distance = 240 + 120 = 360 mts
Time = distance/speed = 360/10 = 36 sec.

Q:

If the price of diesel increases by 25% and Karthik intends to spend only an additional 15% on diesel, by how much % will he reduce the quantity of diesel purchased ?

A) 6.67 % B) 8 %
C) 7.41 % D) 9 %
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 8 %

Explanation:

Let the price of 1 litre of diesel be Rs.x and let Karthik initially buy 'y' litres of diesel.
Therefore, he would have spent Rs. xy on diesel.

When the price of diesel increases by 25%, the new price per litre of diesel is 1.25x.

Karthik intends to increase the amount he spends on diesel by 15%.
i.e., he is willing to spend xy + 15% of xy = 1.15xy

Let the new quantity of diesel that he can get be 'q'.
Then, 1.25x x q = 1.15xy
Or q = (1.15/1.25)y = 0.92y.

As the new quantity that he can buy is 0.92y, he gets 0.08y lesser than what he used to get earlier.

Or a reduction of 8%.
