Q:

A certain sum of money amounts to Rs 1008 in 2 years and to Rs 1164 in 3 ½  years. Find the sum and the rate of interest.

A) 800, 14% B) 800, 13%
C) 800, 12% D) 800, 19%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 800, 13%

Explanation:

S.I. for 1 ½ years = Rs (1164 - 1008) = Rs 156 . 

S.I. for 2 years = Rs (156 x 23 x 2)= Rs 208. 

Therefore, Principal = Rs (1008 - 208) = Rs 800. 

Now, P = 800, T= 2 and S.I. = 208.

Therefore, Rate = (100 x S.I.) / (P x T) = [ (100 x 208)/(800 x 2)]% = 13%

Q:

What annual instalment will discharge a debt of Rs 1092 due in 3 years at 12% simple interest?

A) Rs.325 B) Rs.545
C) Rs.560 D) Rs.550
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs.325

Explanation:

Let each instalment be Rs.x .

 

1st year =  [x + (x * 12 * 2)/100] 

2nd year = [ x + (x *12 * 1)/100] 

3rd year = x 

Then, [x + (x * 12 * 2)/100] + [ x + (x *12 * 1)/100] + x =1092 

3x + ( 24x/100 ) + ( 12x/100 )  = 1092 

336x =109200

Therefore, x = 325 

Each instalment = Rs. 325

Q:

L.C.M of two prime numbers x and y (x>y) is 161. The value of 3y-x is :

A) -2 B) -1
C) 1 D) 2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) -2

Explanation:

 H. C. F of two prime numbers is 1.  Product of numbers = 1 x 161 = 161.

 Let the numbers be a and b . Then , ab= 161.

 Now, co-primes with  product 161 are (1, 161) and (7, 23).

 Since x and y are prime numbers and x >y , we have x=23 and y=7.

 Therefore,  3y-x = (3 x 7)-23 = -2
