A) 1520 sq.m B) 2420 sq.m
C) 2480 sq.m D) 2520 sq.m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 2520 sq.m

Explanation:

We have: (l - b) = 23 and 2(l + b) = 206 or (l + b) = 103. 

Solving the two equations, we get: l = 63 and b = 40. 

Area = (l x b) = (63 x 40) sq.m

= 2520 sq.m

Q:

The length of two superfast trains are 140 mts and 160 mts respectively. If they run at the speed of 60 km/hr and 80 km/hr respectively in opposite direction, find the time in which they will cross each other ? 

A) 7.71 sec B) 10.48 sec
C) 9.36 sec D) 8.45 sec
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 7.71 sec

Explanation:

Given L1 = 140 m

L2 = 160 m

S1 = 60 km/hr

S2 = 80 km/hr

From the question we get,

S1 + S2 = (L1 + L2) / T

=> (60 + 80) 5/18 m/s = 140 + 160/T

=> T = 54/7 = 7.71 sec

Q:

Find the compound interest on Rs. 6,500 for 4 years if the rate of interest is 10% p.a. for the first 2 years and 20% per annum for the next 2 years? 

A) Rs. 3845 B) Rs. 4826
C) Rs. 5142 D) Rs. 4415
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 4826

Explanation:

We know the formula for calculating

The compound interest C = P1 + r100n - 1 where P = amount, r = rate of interest, n = time

Here P = 5000, r1 = 10, r2 = 20

Then C = 65001 + 101002 x 1 + 201002 - 1= 6500 x 18562500= 65 x 185625

C = Rs. 4826.
