Q:

Karthik could cover a distance of 200 km in 22 days while resting for 2 hrs. per day. In how many days (approx) he will cover a distance of 250 km while resting for 2 hrs. per day and moving with 2/3rd of the previous speed ?

A) 41.25 days B) 37.5 days
C) 39.75 days D) 40 days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 41.25 days

Explanation:

Given Karthik can cover the distance of 200 kms resting 2 hrs per day in 22 days.

 

Let the initial speed be '1'

 

Hence, Time = 22(24hrs - 2)

 

Noe new speed = 2/3

 

Let the number of days he take be 'D'

 

Therefore, 2224-2x3200=D24-2x2250

 

D = 11 x 3 x 5/4 = 41.25 days. = 41 1/4 days.

Q:

Find the effective rate of interest for an investment that earns 5 1/2% per year, compounded continuously

A) 5.65% B) 5.75%
C) 5.85% D) 5.95%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 5.65%

Explanation:

We are not given a value of P in this problem, so either pick a value

for P and stick with that throughout the problem, or just let P = P.

We have that t = 1, and r = .055. To find the effective rate of interest,

first find out how much money we have after one year:

A = Pert

A = Pe(.055)(1)

A = 1.056541P.

Therefore, after 1 year, whatever the principal was, we now have 1.056541P.

Next, find out how much interest was earned, I, by subtracting the initial amount of money from the final amount:

I = A − P

  = 1.056541P − P

  = .056541P.

Finally, to find the effective rate of interest, use the simple interest formula, I = Prt. So,

I = Pr(1) = .056541P

.056541 = r.

Therefore, the effective rate of interest is 5.65%
