Q:

Find the effective rate of interest for an investment that earns 5 1/2% per year, compounded continuously

A) 5.65% B) 5.75%
C) 5.85% D) 5.95%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 5.65%

Explanation:

We are not given a value of P in this problem, so either pick a value

for P and stick with that throughout the problem, or just let P = P.

We have that t = 1, and r = .055. To find the effective rate of interest,

first find out how much money we have after one year:

A = Pert

A = Pe(.055)(1)

A = 1.056541P.

Therefore, after 1 year, whatever the principal was, we now have 1.056541P.

Next, find out how much interest was earned, I, by subtracting the initial amount of money from the final amount:

I = A − P

  = 1.056541P − P

  = .056541P.

Finally, to find the effective rate of interest, use the simple interest formula, I = Prt. So,

I = Pr(1) = .056541P

.056541 = r.

Therefore, the effective rate of interest is 5.65%

Q:

If the simple interest on a sum of money at 5% per annum for 3 years is Rs. 1200, find the compound interest on the same sum for the same period at the same rate.

A) Rs.1251 B) Rs.1261
C) Rs.1271 D) Rs,1281
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs.1261

Explanation:

Clearly, Rate = 5% p.a .,

Time = 3 years

S.I =Rs.1200.

So,Principal

=Rs.(100 x 1200/3x5)

=Rs.8000.

 

Amount

=Rs.[8000 x (1+5/100)³]

=Rs(8000x21/20x21/20x21/20)

= Rs.9261

 

C.I

=Rs.(9261-8000)

=Rs.1261.

Q:

One lady has 2 children, one of her child is boy, what is the probability of having both are boys ?

A) 1/3 B) 1/2
C) 2/3 D) 2/5
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 1/3

Explanation:

In a family with 2 children there are four possibilities:
1) the first child is a boy and the second child is a boy (bb)
2) the first child is a boy and the second child is a girl (bg)
3) the first child is a girl and the second child is a boy (gb)
4) the first child is a girl and the second child is a girl (gg)

But already given that one child is boy. So we have three possibilities of (bb)(bg)(gb).
n(E)= both are boys=BB=1
n(S)= 3
Required probability P = n(E)/n(S) = 1/3.
