Interest for 1 year is the same whether it's simple interest or the compound interest.

Now interest of third year = 8575 - 7350 = 1225; means principal for this interest is 7350 if comound interest is takenIf 7350 is the principal interest = 1225

if 100 is the principal interest =(1225/7350) * 100 = 50/3 %

When a thing increases for two successive times the overall increase on initial amount = a + b + (a * b)/100

Therefore overall interest for two years = 50/3 + 50/3 + [(50/3)*(50/3)]/100 = 325/9 %

Therefore amount after 2 years = 100 + 325/9 = 1225/9

If 1225/9 is the amount principal =100

if 7350 is the amount principal =(900/1225)*7350 =5400

So sum = 5400; Rate = 50/3 %

Let the time be 'n' years, Then

800×1+51002n=926.10 <=> 1+51002n=92618000<=>21202n=21103

n = 3/2 or n= 112 Years 

In mathematics, a geometric progression, also known as a geometric sequence, is a sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed, non-zero number called the common ratio.

Herein the given sequence, 4, 2, 1, 0.5, 0.25, 0.125,...

Common Ratio r = 2/4 = 1/2 = 0.5/1 = 0.25/0.5 = 0.125/0.25 == 0.5.

Speed = 9 km/hr = 9 x (5/18) m/sec = 5/2 m/sec   

Distance = (35 x 4) m = 140 m.

Time taken = 140 x (2/5) sec= 56 sec

Cost Price of 2 dozen oranges Rs. (5 + 4) = Rs. 9.
Sell price of 2 dozen oranges = Rs. 11.
If profit is Rs 2, oranges bought = 2 dozen.
If profit is Rs. 50, oranges bought = (2/2) * 50 dozens = 50 dozens.

987 = 3 * 7 * 47.
So, the required number must be divisible by each one of 3, 7, 47
553681 => (Sum of digits = 28, not divisible by 3)
555181 => (Sum of digits = 25, not divisible by 3)
555681 is divisible by each one of 3, 7, 47.

3 /4 = 0.75, 5/6 = 0.833, 1/2 = .5, 2/3 = 0.66, 4/5 = 0.8, 9/10 = 0.9.

clearly 0.8 lies between 0.75 and .833.

4/5 lies between 3/4 and 5/6..
