Q:

A train 125 m long passes a man, running at 5 km/hr in the same direction in which the train is going, in 10 seconds. The speed of the train is ?

A) 45 kmph B) 25 kmph
C) 30 kmph D) 50 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 50 kmph

Explanation:

Speed of the train relative to man = (125/10) m/sec = (25/2) m/sec.
[(25/2) x (18/5)] km/hr = 45 km/hr.
Let the speed of the train be 'S' km/hr.
Then, relative speed = (S - 5) km/hr.
S - 5 = 45 => S = 50 km/hr.

Q:

The difference between compound interest and simple interest on a sum for two years at 8% per annum, where the interest is compounded annually is Rs.16. if the interest were compounded half yearly , the difference in two interests would be nearly

A) Rs.24.64 B) Rs.21.85
C) Rs.16 D) Rs.16.80
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs.24.64

Explanation:

For 1st year S.I =C.I.

 

Thus, Rs.16 is the S.I. on S.I. for 1 year, which at 8% is thus Rs.200

 

i.e S.I on the principal for 1 year is Rs.200

 

Principle = Rs.100*2008*1 = Rs.2500

 

Amount for 2 years, compounded half-yearly

 Rs.2500*1+41004=Rs.2924.4

 

C.I = Rs.424.64

 

Also, S.I=Rs.2500*8*2100=Rs.400

 

Hence, [(C.I) - (S.I)] = Rs. (424.64 - 400) = Rs.24.64
