PW = 100×Amount100+R×T

First ten odd numbers form an arithmetic progression of the form
1,3,5,7,9......
here a = first term = 1
d = common difference = 2
Average of first n numbers = (2a + (n - 1)d)/2
n th term of the AP = a + (n - 1)d
Substituting a = 1, d = 2 and n = 10 in the above formulas
average of first 10 numbers = 10
10 th term of the AP = 19
Therefore average of first 10 terms is 19 - 10 = 9 greater than
the last term. Hence the average is greater than the sum by
9/19 X 100 = 900/19 %

The number of ways in which the letters of the word RAILINGS can be arranged such that R & S always come together is

Count R & S as only 1 space or letter so that RS or SR can be arranged => 7! x 2!

But in the word RAILINGS, I repeated for 2 times => 7! x 2!/2! = 7! ways = 5040 ways.

I does not follow because it considers the qualities expressed in the statement sufficient for the eligibility of a job. II follows obviously.

For an income of Rs. 756, investment = Rs. 9000. 

For an income of Rs.212,  investment =Rs.9000756×212 = Rs. 125.

For a Rs. 100 stock, investment = Rs. 125.

Market value of Rs. 100 stock = Rs.125-14= Rs. 124.75

With slight modifications, the basic formula can be made to deal with compounding at intervals other than annually.

Since the compounding is done at six-monthly intervals, 4 per cent (half of 8 per cent) will be added to the value on each occasion.

Hence we use r = 0.04. Further, there will be ten additions of interest during the five years, and so n = 10. The formula now gives:

V = P(1 + r)10 = 5,000 x (1.04)10 = 7,401.22

Thus the value in this instance will be £7,401.22.

In a case such as this, the 8 per cent is called a nominal annual

rate, and we are actually referring to 4 per cent per six months.
