Q:

Find by how much percentage the average of first 10 odd numbers (starting from 1) is greater than the last term ?

A) 991/16 % B) 900/19 %
C) 874/13 % D) 719/17 %
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 900/19 %

Explanation:

First ten odd numbers form an arithmetic progression of the form
1,3,5,7,9......
here a = first term = 1
d = common difference = 2
Average of first n numbers = (2a + (n - 1)d)/2
n th term of the AP = a + (n - 1)d
Substituting a = 1, d = 2 and n = 10 in the above formulas
average of first 10 numbers = 10
10 th term of the AP = 19
Therefore average of first 10 terms is 19 - 10 = 9 greater than
the last term. Hence the average is greater than the sum by
9/19 X 100 = 900/19 %

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.
