Q:

The minimum number of half years in which a sum of money kept at 60% compound interest will be quadrupled is ?

A) 2 B) 4
C) 3 D) 6
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 6

Explanation:

Let us assume Amount be 100 Rs and we calculate in CI

 First year 60% of 100 = 60 amount (100+60) is 160

 Second year 60% of 160 = 96 amount (160+96) is 256

 Third year 60% of 256 =153.6 amount (256+153.6) is 409.6

 Here the Amount of 100 Rs is quadrapled in 3 years.

 One year contains 2 half years

 Three year has 6 half years.

 Therefore,  It takes 6 half years.

Q:

A train travelling with a speed of 60 km/hr catches another train travelling in the same direction and then leaves it 120m behind in 18 seconds. The speed of the second train is

A) 42 kmph B) 72 kmph
C) 36 kmph D) 44 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 36 kmph

Explanation:

Given speed of the first train = 60 km/hr = 60 x 5/18 = 50/3 m/s

Let the speed of the second train = x m/s

Then, the difference in the speed is given by

503 - x = 12018

=> x = 10 m/s

=> 10 x 18/5 = 36 km/hr
