Q:

The compound interest earned by Sunil on a certain amount at the end of two years at the rate of 8% p.a. was Rs.2828.80. Find the total amount that Sunil got back at the end of two years in the form of principal plus interest earned  ?

A) Rs. 11828.80 B) Rs. 19828.80
C) Rs. 9828.80 D) Rs. 19328.80
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 19828.80

Explanation:

Let the sum be Rs. P
P{ 1+81002- 1 } = 2828.80

 

It is in the form of  a2-b2 = a+ba-b

 

P(8/100)(2 + 8/100) = 2828.80

 

P = 2828.80 / (0.08)(2.08)

 

= 1360/0.08 = 17000

 

Principal + Interest = Rs. 19828.80

A) 36 years B) 28 years

Let Shilpa's present age is p years

According to question,

p = 4(x+4) – 4(x–4)

p = 4x+16 – 4x+16

p = 32

Shilpa's present age = 32 years

Rajeev is four years older than Shilpa

=> Shilpa's present age = Rajeev's age 4 years before.

=> Rajeev's age 4 years before = 32 years.

Q:

If the sum of two numbers is 55 and the H.C.F. and L.C.M. of these numbers are 5 and 120 respectively, then the sum of the reciprocals of the numbers is equal to ?

A) 13/125 B) 14/57
C) 11/120 D) 16/41
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 11/120

Explanation:

Let the numbers be a and b.
We know that product of two numbers = Product of their HCF and LCM
Then, a + b = 55 and ab = 5 x 120 = 600.
=> The required sum = (1/a) + (1/b) = (a+b)/ab
=55/600 = 11/120

Q:

Two trains start from same place at same time at right angles to each other. Their speeds are 36km/hr and 48km/hr respectively. After 30 seconds the distance between them will be ?

A) 900 mts B) 300 mts
C) 250 mts D) 500 mts
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 500 mts

Explanation:

Using pythagarous theorem,
distance travelled by first train = 36x5/18x30 = 300m
distance travelled by second train = 48x5/18x30 = 400m
so distance between them =√( 90000 + 160000) = √250000 = 500mts.
