Q:

The difference between the compound interest and simple interest on a certain sum at 10% per annum for 2 years is Rs. 631. Find the sum.

A) 60100 B) 61100
C) 62100 D) 63100
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 63100

Explanation:

Let the sum be Rs. x. Then,
C.I. = x ( 1 + ( 10 /100 ))^2 - x = 21x / 100 ,
S.I. = (( x * 10 * 2) / 100) = x / 5
(C.I) - (S.I) = ((21x / 100 ) - (x / 5 )) = x / 100
( x / 100 ) = 632 * x = 63100.
Hence, the sum is Rs.63,100.

Q:

In a certain coding language, iF GO = 32 & SHE = 49 then SOME will be equal to ?

A) 56 B) 58
C) 62 D) 64
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 56

Explanation:

If we count letters till the end of the alphabet including that letter in reverse order then
Here the values are nothing but the values corresponding to the alphabets when taken in a reverse order,i.e,A=26 ,B=25...,Z=1
G = 20 and O = 12 totaling 32
S = 8, H = 19 and E = 22 totaling 49

So
SOME = 8 + 12 + 14 + 22 = 56.

Q:

Consider the following statements:

1) The perimeter of a triangle is greater than the sum of its three medinas.

2) In any triangle ABC, if D is any point on BC, then AB + BC + CA > 2AD.

Which of the above statements is/are correct?

A) 1 only B) 2 only
C) Both 1 and 2 D) Neither 1 nor 2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Both 1 and 2

Explanation:
Let ABC be the triangle and D. E and F are midpoints of BC, CA and AB respectively.
Recall that the sum of two sides of a triangle is greater than twice the median bisecting the third side,(Theorem to be remembered)
Hence in ΔABD, AD is a median
⇒
AB + AC > 2(AD)
Similarly, we get
BC + AC > 2CF
BC + AB > 2BE
On adding the above inequations, we get
(AB + AC) + (BC + AC) + (BC + AB )> 2AD + 2CD + 2BE
2(AB + BC + AC) > 2(AD + BE + CF)
∴
AB + BC + AC > AD + BE +CF
 
2.
To prove: AB + BC + CA > 2AD
Construction: AD is joined
Proof: In triangle ABD,
AB + BD > AD [because, the sum of any two sides of a triangle is always greater than the
third side]
----
1
In triangle ADC,
AC + DC > AD [because, the sum of any two
sides of a tri
angle is always greater than the
third side]
----
2
Adding 1 and 2 we get,
AB + BD + AC + DC > AD + AD
=> AB + (BD + DC) + AC > 2AD
=> AB + BC + AC > 2AD
Hence proved

Q:

How many ways can 10 letters be posted in 5 post boxes, if each of the post boxes can take more than 10 letters ?

A) 5^10 B) 10^5
C) 5P5 D) 5C5
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 5^10

Explanation:

Each of the 10 letters can be posted in any of the 5 boxes.

 

So, the first letter has 5 options, so does the second letter and so on and so forth for all of the 10 letters.

 

i.e. 5*5*5*….*5 (upto 10 times) = 5 ^ 10.
