Q:

A bag contains 600 coins of 25 p denomination and 1200 coins of 50 p denomination. If 12% of 25 p coins and 24% of 50 p coins are removed, the percentage of money removed from the bag is nearly :

A) 21.6 % B) 15.3 %
C) 14.6 % D) 12.5 %
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 21.6 %

Explanation:

Total money = Rs.[600*(25/100)+1200*(50/100)]= Rs. 750.

 

25 paise coins removed = Rs. (600*12/100) = 72.

 

50 paise coins removed = Rs. (1200*24/100)= 288.

 

Money removed =Rs.(72*25/100+288*50/100)  = Rs.162.

 

Required percentage = (162/750*100)% = 21.6 %.

Q:

The mean temperature of Monday to Wednesday was 37C and of Tuesday to Thursday was 34C . If the temperature on Thursday was (4/5) th that of Monday, the temperature on Thursday was?

Answer

\inline \fn_jvn M+T+W =(37\times 3)^{0}=111^{0}C   -----------(1)


\inline \fn_jvn T+W+Th=(34\times 3)^{0}=102^{0}C


\inline \fn_jvn \Rightarrow T+W+\frac{4}{5}M = 102^{0}C                --------------(2)


(1) - (2) gives


\inline \fn_jvn \frac{1}{5} th of temperature on Monday = 


\inline \fn_jvn \Rightarrow Temperature on Monday = \inline \fn_jvn 45^{0}C


\inline \fn_jvn \therefore Temperature on Thursday = \inline \fn_jvn \frac{4}{5}\times 45^{0}=36^{0}

Q:

What will Rs.1500 amount to in three years if it is invested in 20% p.a. compound interest, interest being compounded annually?

A) Rs.2592 B) Rs.2492
C) Rs.2352 D) Rs.2352
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs.2592

Explanation:

The usual way to find the compound interest is given by the formula A = .p(1+r/100)^n

In this formula,

A is the amount at the end of the period of investment

P is the principal that is invested

r is the rate of interest in % p.a

And n is the number of years for which the principal has been invested.

In this case, it would turn out to be A =1500(1+20/100)^3

= 2592.
