From the above given figure,

 

C + T - R = 170 ......(a)

 

R + T - C = 130 ......(b)

 

Adding above eqns (a) & (b), we get

 

2T = 300

 

T = 150 cm

 

Hence, the height of the table is 150 cm.

Q:

A sum was put at simple interest at a certain rate for 10 years . Had it been put at 5% higher rate , it would have fetched Rs.600 more. What was the Sum?

A) Rs.1200 B) Rs.1300
C) Rs.1400 D) Rs.1500
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs.1200

Explanation:

At 5% more rate, the increase in S.I for 10 years = Rs.600  (given)

So, at 5% more rate, the increase in SI for 1 year = 600/10 = Rs.60/-

i.e. Rs.60 is 5% of the invested sum

So, 1% of the invested sum = 60/5

Therefore, the invested sum = 60 × 100/5 = Rs.1200
