Q:

Kramer borrowed $4000 from George at an interest rate of 7% compounded semiannually. The loan is to be repaid by three payments. The first payment, $1000, is due two years after the date of the loan. The second and third payments are due three and five years, respectively, after the initial loan. Calculate the amounts of the second and third payments if the second payment is to be twice the size of the third payment.

A) 1389 B) 1359
C) 1379 D) 1339.33
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 1339.33

Explanation:

Given:j=7% compounded semiannually making m=2 and i = j/m= 7%/2 = 3.5%
Let x represent the third payment. Then the second payment must be 2x.
PV1,PV2, andPV3 represent the present values of the first, second, and third payments.

Since the sum of the present values of all payments equals the original loan, then
PV1 + PV2  +PV3  =$4000 -------(1)

PV1   =FV/(1 + i)^n  =$1000/(1.035)^4=  $871.44

At first, we may be stumped as to how to proceed for
PV2 and PV3. Let’s think about the third payment of x dollars. We can compute the present value of just $1 from the x dollars

pv=1/(1.035)^10=0.7089188

PV2   =2x * 0.7089188 = 1.6270013x
PV3   =x * 0.7089188=0.7089188x
Now substitute these values into equation ➀ and solve for x.
$871.442 + 1.6270013x + 0.7089188x  =$4000

2.3359201x  =$3128.558

x=$1339.326
Kramer’s second payment will be 2($1339.326)  =$2678.65, and the third payment will be $1339.33

Q:

The length of a rectangle is 10 cm more than the breadth. Find the diagonal length of rectangle if perimeter is 44 cm ?

A) 12.50 cm B) 14.21 cm
C) 15.98 cm D) 17.08 cm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 17.08 cm

Explanation:

Let the length of the rectangle = L cm

 

Then the breadth of the rectangle = (L - 10) cm

 

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(L + B) cm

 

=> 44 = 2(L + L - 10)

 

=> 44 = 4L - 20

 

=> 4L = 64

 

=> L = 16 cm

 

=> B = L - 10 = 6 cm

 

Diagonal = L2+B2 = 162+62 = 17.08 cm

Q:

How many four digits numbers greater than 6000 can be made using the digits 0, 4, 2, 6 together with repetition.

A) 64 B) 63
C) 62 D) 60
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 63

Explanation:

Given digits are 0, 4, 2, 6

Required 4 digit number should be greater than 6000.

So, first digit must be 6 only and the remaining three places can be filled by one of all the four digits.

This can be done by

1x4x4x4 = 64

Greater than 6000 means 6000 should not be there.

Hence, 64 - 1 = 63.

Q:

Tanks A and B are each in the shape of a right circular cylinder. The interior of tank A has a height of 10 meters and a circumference of 8 meters, and the interior of tank B has a height of 8 meters and a circumference of 10 meters. The capacity of tank A is what percent of the capacity of tank B ?

A) 76% B) 72%
C) 80% D) 82%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 80%

Explanation:

circumference of A = 2πr = 8 => so r = 4π
volume = π×4π2×10 = 160π
circumference of B = 2πr   = 10 => so r = 5π
volume = π×5π2×8 =  200π
so ratio of capacities = 160/200 = 0.8
so capacity of A will be 80% of the capacity of B.
