Q:

What is the difference in the shares of profit between P and Q in a joint business at the end of one year ?

a. P Invested Rs. 80,000 and withdrew Rs. 20,000 after 6 months.

b. Q joined four months after the start of business.

c. Q's amount was 80% of P's amount during the last six months.

A) Only a B) Only c
C) Both a & b D) Data is not sufficient
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Data is not sufficient

Explanation:

a. P's investment = (80000 x 6 + 60000 x 6) = 840000 for 1 month.

b & c. Q's investment = 80% of Rs. 60000 for 8 months.

= Rs.(48000 x 8) for 1 month = 384000 for 1 month

P : Q = 840000 : 384000 = 35 : 16.

But, the total profit is not given, so data is inadequate.

C) 10 D) 5
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 1

Explanation:

From the given data,

11+ 11 = 4 => 1 + 1  +  1 + 1 = 4

12 + 12 = 6 => 1 + 2  + 1 + 2 = 6

13 + 1 3 = 8 => 1 + 3  + 1 + 3 = 8

Q:

A class consists of both boys and girls along with a teacher. After a class, the teacher drinks 9 litres of water, a boy drinks 7 litres of water and a girl drinks 4 litres of water. If after a class 42 litres of water was consumed, find the number of girls in the class ?

A) 8 B) 6
C) 5 D) 3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 3

Explanation:

Given teacher drinks 9 ltr
Let number of boys be 'A'.
Let number of girls be 'B'.
Boy drinks 7 ltr and girl drinks 4 ltr
After class total water consumed = 42 ltr
Then,
9 + 7A + 4B = 42
=> 7A + 4B = 33
By trial and error method,
The only integers which satisfy the equation is A = 3 and B = 3
Therefore, number of girls in the class = 3.

Q:

An amount of 5,000 is invested at a fixed rate of 8 per cent per annum. What amount will be the value of the investment in five years time, if the interest is compounded every six months?

A) 7401.22 B) 3456
C) 4567 D) 7890
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 7401.22

Explanation:

With slight modifications, the basic formula can be made to deal with compounding at intervals other than annually.

 

Since the compounding is done at six-monthly intervals, 4 per cent (half of 8 per cent) will be added to the value on each occasion.

 

Hence we use r = 0.04. Further, there will be ten additions of interest during the five years, and so n = 10. The formula now gives:

 

V = P(1 + r)10 = 5,000 x (1.04)10 = 7,401.22

 

Thus the value in this instance will be £7,401.22.

 

In a case such as this, the 8 per cent is called a nominal annual

 

rate, and we are actually referring to 4 per cent per six months.
