Q:

Mr. Gupta borrowed a sum of money on compound interest. What will be the amount to
be repaid if he is repaying the entire amount at the end of 2 years?
I. The rate of interest is 5 p.c.p.a.
II. Simple interest fetched on the same amount in one year is Rs. 600.
III. The amount borrowed is 10 times the simple interest in 2 years.

A) .I only B) III only
C) I or II D) II and Either I or III only
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) II and Either I or III only

Explanation:

   I. gives, Rate = 5% p.a.

 

 II. gives, S.I. for 1 year = Rs. 600.

 

III. gives, sum = 10 x (S.I. for 2 years).

 


 Now I, and II give the sum.


 For this sum, C.I. and hence amount can be obtained.


 Thus, III is redundant.


 Again, II gives S.I. for 2 years = Rs. (600 x 2) = Rs. 1200.


 Now, from III, Sum = Rs. (10 x 1200) = Rs . 12000.


Thus,Rate =100*12002*12000 =5%


Thus, C.I. for 2 years and therefore, amount can be obtained.


Thus, I is redundant.



Hence, I or III redundan

How much petrol can be used daily with out the supply ever failing? 

A) 64000 liters B) 56000 liters
C) 78000 liters D) 60000 liters
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 56000 liters

Explanation:

Let x liter be the per day filling and v litr be the capacity of the reservoir, then 

      90x + v = 40000 * 90     -----(1)

      60x + v= 32000 * 60     ------(2)

solving eq.(1) and (2) , we get

      x = 56000

Hence , 56000 liters per day can be used without the failure of supply.

Q:

Three maths classes: A, B and C take an algebra test. The average score of class A is 83. The average score of class B is 76. The average score of class C is 85. The average score of class A and B is 79 and average score of class B and C is 81. What is the average score of classes A, B, C ?

A) 81 B) 78
C) 80.5 D) 81.5
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 81.5

Explanation:

Let the number of students in classes A, B and C be P, Q and R respectively.
Then, total score of A = 83P, total score of B = 76Q, total score of C = 85R.
Also given that,
(83P + 76Q) / (P + Q) = 79
=>4P = 3Q.
(76Q + 85R)/(Q + R) = 81
=>4R = 5Q,
=>Q = 4P/3 and R = 5P/3
Therefore, average score of A, B, C = ( 83P + 76Q + 85R ) / (P + Q + R) = 978/12 = 81.5
