Q:

A man invests Rs.5000 for 3 years at 5% p.a. compound interest reckoned yearly. Income tax at the rate of 20% on the interest earned is deducted at the end of each year. Find the amount at the end of the third year

A) Rs.5624.32 B) Rs.5423
C) Rs.5634 D) Rs.5976
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs.5624.32

Explanation:

 

 

 

5% is the rate of interest. 20% of the interest amount is paid as tax.

 

i.e  80% of the interest amount stays back.

 

 if we compute the rate of interest as 80% of 5% = 4% p.a., we will get the same value.

  

The interest accrued for 3 years in compound interest = 3 x simple interest on principal + 3 x interest on simple interest + 1 x interest on interest on interest.

 

= 3 x (200) + 3 x (8) + 1 x 0.32 =600 + 24 + 0.32 = 624.32

 

 

 

The amount at the end of 3 years = 5000 + 624.32 = 5624.32

Q:

A group of workers was put on a job. From the second day onwards, one worker was withdrawn each day. The job was finished when the last worker was withdrawn. Had no worker been withdrawn at any stage, the group would have finished the job in 55% of the time. How many workers were there in the group?

A) 50 B) 40
C) 45 D) 10
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 10

Explanation:

Let the number of workers be x.

Now, Using work equivalence method,

X + (X-1) + (X-2)+ . . . . + 1 = X *55% of X

 

=> [X * (X+1)] / 2 = X * (55X/100)    [because, Series is in AP. Sum of AP = {No. of terms (first term+ last term)/2} ]

Therefore, X = 10
