A) 24000 B) 16000
C) 12000 D) 32000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 16000

Explanation:

Given Dileep and Narender started a business.

Dileep invested 8000 for 12 months

Let Narender invested 'p' for 6 months

At the end of the year, their profit ratio is 1 : 1.

Hence,

8000 x 12 : p x 6

p : 16000

p/16000 = 1/1

=> p = 16,000

 

Hence, Narender invested amount is Rs. 16,000.

Q:

Two parallel chords on the same side of the centre of a circle are 5 cm apart. If the chords are 20 and 28 cm long, what is the radius of the circle? 

A) 14.69 cm B) 15.69 cm
C) 18.65 cm D) 16.42 cm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 15.69 cm

Explanation:

circle11487663359.jpg image

Draw the two chords as shown in the figure. Let O be the center of the circle. Draw OC
perpendicular to both chords. That divides the two chords in half.
So CD = 10 and AB = 14. Draw radii OA and OD, both equal to radius r.
We are given that BC = 5, the distance between the two chords. Let
OB = x.

We use the Pythagorean theorem on right triangle ABO

AO² = AB² + OB²
r² = 14² + x²

We use the Pythagorean theorem on right triangle DCO

DO² = CD² + OC²

We see that OC = OB+BC = x+5, so

r² = 10² + (x+5)²

So we have a system of two equations:

r² = 14² + x²
r² = 10² + (x+5)²

Since both left sides equal r², set the right sides
equal to each other.

14² + x² = 10² + (x+5)²
196 + x² = 100 + x² + 10x + 25
196 = 125 + 10x
71 = 10x
7.1 = x

r² = 14² + x²
r² = 196 + (7.1)²
r² = 196 + 50.41
r² = 246.41
r = √246.41
r = 15.69745202 cm

Q:

Shamma lends Rs.40,000 to two of her friends. She gives Rs.24,000 to the first at 8% p.a. simple interest. Shamma wants to make a profit of 10% on the whole. The simple interest rate at which she should lend the remaining sum of money to the second friend is:

A) 13% B) 8.5%
C) 9.5% D) 11.25%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 13%

Explanation:

The ratio of money she lended is

24000 : 16000 = 3 : 2

Let the rate of interest be R%

 

8%                   R%
     

           10

 

3          :           2

 

R = 13%.
