Q:

Tanks A and B are each in the shape of a right circular cylinder. The interior of tank A has a height of 10 meters and a circumference of 8 meters, and the interior of tank B has a height of 8 meters and a circumference of 10 meters. The capacity of tank A is what percent of the capacity of tank B ?

A) 76%	B) 72%
C) 80%	D) 82%

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 80%

Explanation:

circumference of A = $2 πr$ = 8 => so r = $\frac{4}{π}$
volume = $π \times {(\frac{4}{π})}^{2} \times 10$ = $\frac{160}{π}$
circumference of B = $2 πr$ = 10 => so r = $\frac{5}{π}$
volume = $π \times {(\frac{5}{π})}^{2} \times 8$ = $\frac{200}{π}$
so ratio of capacities = 160/200 = 0.8
so capacity of A will be 80% of the capacity of B.

Q:

On simple interest an amount becomes Rs. 812 in two years and Rs. 924 in four years. What is the rate of interest on that amount?

A) 7.2%	B) 8%
C) 8.5%	D) 9.3%

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 8%

Explanation:

We know,

S.I = PTR/100 where P = principal amount, T = time, R = rate of interest

Here in the given data,

Interest for two years S.I = 924 - 812 = Rs. 112

Now, Principal amount P = 812 - 112 = Rs. 700

Now,

R = S.I x 100/PT

R = 112 x 100/700 x 2

R = 11200/1400

R = 8%

Hence, the rate of interest R = 8%.
