A's speed = (5*5/15)m/sec  = (25/18)m/sec

Time taken by A to cover 100 m = (100*18/15)sec = 72sec

 Time taken by B to cover 92 m = (72 + 8) = 80 sec.

 B's speed =(92/80*18/5)kmph =4.14kmph

In a simultaneous throw of two dice, we have n(S) = (6 x 6) = 36.

Then, E= {(1, 2), (1, 4), (1, 6), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 2), (3,4),(3, 6), (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6), (5, 2), (5, 4), (5, 6), (6, 1),6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)}

n(E) = 27.

P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 27/36 = 3/4.

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

let the sum lent at 5% be Rs.x and that lent at 8% be Rs.(1550-x). then, 

Interest on x at 5% for 3 years + interest on (1550-x) at 8% for 3 years = 300

 x*5*3100+1500-x*8*3100=300 

 x=800

Required ratio =  x : (1550-x) = 800 : (1550-800) = 800 : 750 = 16 : 15

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%

Shawn received an extra amount of (Rs.605 – Rs.550) Rs.55 on his compound interest paying bond as the interest that he received in the first year also earned interest in the second year.

The extra interest earned on the compound interest bond = Rs.55

The interest for the first year =550/2 = Rs.275

Therefore, the rate of interest =55275*100= 20% p.a.

20% interest means that Shawn received 20% of the amount he invested in the bonds as interest.

If 20% of his investment in one of the bonds = Rs.275, then his total investment in each of the  bonds =27520*100 = 1375. 

As he invested equal sums in both the bonds, his total savings before investing = 2 x 1375 =Rs.2750.

Shyam's share * (1+0.05)9 = Ram's share * (1 + 0.05)11

Shyam's share / Ram's share = (1 + 0.05)11 / (1+ 0.05)9 = (1+ 0.05)2 = 441/400

Therefore Shyam's share = (441/841) * 5887 = 3087

when interest is reckoned using compound interest, interest being compounded annually. The difference in the simple interest and compound interest for two years is on account of the interest paid on the first year's interest  Hence 12% of simple interest = 90 => simple interest =90/0.12 =750.

As the simple interest for a year = 750 @ 12% p.a., the principal =750/0.12 = Rs.6250.

If the principal is 6250, then the amount outstanding at the end of 3 years = 6250 + 3(simple interest on 6250) + 3 (interest on simple interest) + 1 (interest on interest on interest) = 6250 +3(750) + 3(90) + 1(10.80) = 8780.80.
