Return                        18xy100  20xy100  20xy100                

 

               Total = (18+20+20) = 58xy100

Q:

A sum was put at simple interest at a certain rate for 10 years . Had it been put at 5% higher rate , it would have fetched Rs.600 more. What was the Sum?

A) Rs.1200 B) Rs.1300
C) Rs.1400 D) Rs.1500
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs.1200

Explanation:

At 5% more rate, the increase in S.I for 10 years = Rs.600  (given)

So, at 5% more rate, the increase in SI for 1 year = 600/10 = Rs.60/-

i.e. Rs.60 is 5% of the invested sum

So, 1% of the invested sum = 60/5

Therefore, the invested sum = 60 × 100/5 = Rs.1200

Q:

An urn contains 4 white 6 black and 8 red balls . If 3 balls are drawn one by one without replacement, find the probability of getting all white balls.

A) 5/204 B) 1/204
C) 13/204 D) None of these
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 1/204

Explanation:

Let A, B, C be the events of getting a white ball in first, second and third draw respectively, then 

 Required probability = PABC 

PA PBA PCAB

 Now, P(A) = Probability of drawing a white ball in first draw = 4/18 = 2/9

When  a white ball is drawn in the first draw there are 17 balls left in the urn, out of which 3 are white

 PBA=317 

Since the ball drawn is not replaced, therefore after drawing a white ball in the second draw there are 16 balls left in the urn, out of which 2 are white.

 PCAB =216=18

 Hence the required probability = 29×317×18=1204
