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.

A) 200 mts B) 180 mts
C) 160 mts D) 145 mts
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 200 mts

Explanation:

Length of train A = 48 x 9 x 5/18 = 120 mts

Length of train B = 48 x 24 x 5/18 - 120

=> 320 - 120 = 200 mts.

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 1/9

Explanation:

In two throws of a die, n(s)=(6 x 6)=36

 

let E= Event of geting a sum 9={(3,6),(4,5),(5,4),(6,3)}

 

P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 4/36 = 1/9

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.

Q:

A sum was invested for 3 years at simple interest at a certain rate. Had it been invested at 4% higher rate of interest, it would have fetched Rs 600 more. The sum is

A) Rs 4000 B) Rs 4950
C) Rs 5000 D) Rs 5150
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs 5000

Explanation:

Let the rate of interest be R

(Interest at rate (R+4)%)–(Interest at R%)

= 600(PT(R+4)/100) –(PTR/100)

= 6003PR +12P –3PR = 60000

12P = 60000

P = 5000
