Q:

The sum of three consecutive multiples of 3 is 72. What is the second largest number ?

A) 27 B) 24
C) 21 D) 42
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 24

Let the numbers be 3x, 3x + 3 and 3x + 6.
Then,
3x + (3x + 3) + (3x + 6) = 72
9x = 63
x = 7
Largest number = 3x + 6 = 27.

=> Second largest number = 27 - 3 = 24

Q:

What will Rs.1500 amount to in three years if it is invested in 20% p.a. compound interest, interest being compounded annually?

A) Rs.2592 B) Rs.2492
C) Rs.2352 D) Rs.2352
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs.2592

Explanation:

The usual way to find the compound interest is given by the formula A = .p(1+r/100)^n

In this formula,

A is the amount at the end of the period of investment

P is the principal that is invested

r is the rate of interest in % p.a

And n is the number of years for which the principal has been invested.

In this case, it would turn out to be A =1500(1+20/100)^3

= 2592.

Q:

Without any stoppage, a person travels a certain distance at an average speed of 42 km/h, and with stoppages he covers the same distance at an average speed of 28 km/h. How many minutes per hour does he stop?

A) 15 minutes B) 20 minutes
C) 18 minutes D) 22 minutes
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 20 minutes

Explanation:

Let the total distance to be covered is 84 kms.
Time taken to cover the distance without stoppage = 84/42 hrs = 2 hrs
Time taken to cover the distance with stoppage = 84/28 = 3 hrs.
Thus, he takes 60 minutes to cover the same distance with stoppage.
Therefore, in 1 hour he stops for 20 minutes.
