Q:

A sum of Rs. 8,000 is deposited for 3 years at 5% per annum compound interest (compounded annually). The difference of interest for 3 years and 2 years will be

 

A) Rs. 387 B) Rs. 441
C) Rs. 469 D) Rs. 503
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 441

Explanation:

Given principal amount = Rs. 8000

Time = 3yrs

Rate = 5%

C.I for 3 yrs = 8000 x 105100 x 105100 x 105100 - 8000= Rs. 1261

 

Now, C.I for 2 yrs = 8000 x 105100 x 105100= Rs. 820 

 

Hence, the required difference in C.I is 1261 - 820 = Rs. 441

Q:

If sum of three consecutive numbers is 42 . What will the sum of the digits of middle number .

Answer

Let the numbers be x, x+1, x+2 


Then x + x+1 + x+2 = 42


           =>  3x + 3 = 42


           => 3x = 39 


          =>  x = 13


 


The numbers would be 13, 14, 15 


Therefore, Sum of the digits of middle number = 1+4 = 5
