Q:

A rectangular park 60 m long and 40 m wide has two concrete crossroads running in the middle of the park and rest of the park has been used as a lawn. If the area of the lawn is 2109 sq. m, then what is the width of the road?

A) 2.91 m	B) 3 m
C) 5.82 m	D) None of these

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 3 m

Explanation:

Area of the park = (60 x 40) = 2400 sq.m

Area of the lawn = 2109 sq.m

Area of the crossroads = (2400 - 2109) = 291 sq.m

Let the width of the road be x metres. Then,

60x + 40x - (x * x) = 291

=>(x * x) - 100x + 291 = 0

=>(x - 97)(x - 3) = 0

=>x=3

Q:

The banker's discount on Rs. 1650 due a certain time hence is Rs. 165. Find the true discount and the banker's gain.

A) 15	B) 20
C) 18	D) 13

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 15

Explanation:

Sum = [(B.D.xT.D.)/ (B.D.-T.D.)]

= [(B.D.xT.D.)/B.G.]

T.D./B.G. = Sum/ B.D.

=1650/165

=10

Thus, if B.G. is Re 1, T.D. = Rs. 10.

If B.D.is Rs. ll, T.D.=Rs. 10.

If B.D. is Rs. 165, T.D. = Rs. [(10/11)xl65]

=Rs.150

And, B.G. = Rs. (165 - 150) = Rs, 15.

Q:

A bill for Rs. 6000 is drawn on July 14 at 5 months. It is discounted on 5th October at 10%. Find the banker's discount, true discount, banker's gain and the money that the holder of the bill receives.

A) 4390	B) 6580
C) 5880	D) 5350

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 5880

Explanation:

Face value of the bill = Rs. 6000.

Date on which the bill was drawn = July 14 at 5 months. Nominally due date = December 14.

Legally due date = December 17.

Date on which the bill was discounted = October 5.

Unexpired time : Oct. Nov. Dec.

26 + 30 + 17 = 73 days =1/ 5Years

B.D. = S.I. on Rs. 6000 for 1/5 year

= Rs. (6000 x 10 x1/5 x1/100)= Rs. 120.

T.D. = Rs.[(6000 x 10 x1/5)/(100+(10*1/5))]

=Rs.(12000/102)=Rs. 117.64.

B.G. = (B.D.) - (T.D.) = Rs. (120 - 117.64) = Rs. 2.36.

Money received by the holder of the bill = Rs. (6000 - 120) = Rs. 5880.

Q:

main()

{

char s[ ] = "man";

int i;

for( i=0; s[ i ]; i++)

printf( "n%c%c%c%c", s[ i ], *(s+i), *(i+s), i[s] );

}

A) mmmm aaaa nnnn	B) aaaa mmmm nnnn
C) nnnn aaaa mmmm	D) None

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) mmmm aaaa nnnn

Explanation:

s[i], *(i+s), *(s+i), i[s] are all different ways of expressing the same idea.Generally array name is the base address for that array. Here s is the base address. i is the index number/displacement from the base address. So, indirecting it with * is same as s[i]. i[s] may be surprising. But in the case of C it is same as s[i].

Q:

In how many years will a sum of Rs.800 at 10% per annum compounded semi annually become Rs.926.10

A) 1.5	B) 2.5
C) 3.5	D) 4.5

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 1.5

Explanation:

Let the time be 'n' years, Then

$800 \times {(1 + \frac{5}{100})}^{2} n = 926.10 < = > {(1 + \frac{5}{100})}^{2} n = \frac{9261}{8000} < = > {(\frac{21}{20})}^{2} n = {(\frac{21}{10})}^{3}$

n = 3/2 or n= 1 $\frac{1}{2}$ Years

Q:

The compound interest on rs.30000 at 7% per annum is Rs.4347. The period is

A) 2 years	B) 2.5 years
C) 3 years	D) 4 years

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 2 years

Explanation:

Amount = Rs.(30000+4347) = Rs.34347

let the time be n years

Then,30000(1+7/100)^n = 34347

(107/100)^n = 34347/30000 = 11449/10000 = (107/100)^2

$\therefore$ n = 2years
