Q:

The ratio between the length and the breadth of a rectangular park is 3 : 2. If a man cycling along the boundary of the park at the speed of 12 km/hr completes one round in 8 minutes, then the area of the park (in sq. m) is:

A) 15360 B) 153600
C) .30720 D) 307200
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 153600

Explanation:

Perimeter = Distance covered in 8 min. = (12000/60) * 8 = 1600m 

Let length = 3x metres and breadth = 2x metres.  

Then, 2(3x + 2x) = 1600 or x = 160.  

Length = 480 m and Breadth = 320 m.

Area = (480 x 320) = 153600

Q:

The total simple interest earned on a sum of money increases by Rs. 600 when the rate of interest increases by 2% per annum. If the investment was made for 5 years, find the sum of money that was invested ?

A) Rs. 6000 B) Rs. 5550
C) Rs. 7500 D) Rs. 6580
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 6000

Explanation:

Let the sum invested be Rs. P

Let the rate of interest be R% per annum

=> Interest earned for 5 years = (P x 5 x R/100) = PR/20

Now, given that the interest earned increased by Rs. 600 if the Rate increased to (R+2)%

=> SI = (P x 5 x (R+2))/100 = PR/20 + 10P/100

Hence,

PR/20 + 10P/100 = PR/20 + 600

=> P = 6000

Therefore, the sum invested is Rs. 6000
