Q:

Divide Rs. 1301 between A and B, so that the amount of A after 7 years is equal to the amount of B after 9 years, the interest being compounded at 4% per annum.

A) Rs.625	B) Rs.626
C) Rs.286	D) Rs.627

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs.625

Explanation:

Let the two parts be Rs. x and Rs. (1301 - x).

$x {(1 + \frac{4}{100})}^{7} = (1301 - x) {(1 + \frac{4}{100})}^{9}$

$\frac{x}{(1301 - x)} = {(1 + \frac{4}{100})}^{2} = (\frac{26}{25} * \frac{25}{26})$

=> 625x=676(1301-x)

1301x=676 x 1301x=676.
So,the parts are rs.676 and rs.(1301-676)i.e rs.676 and rs.625

At what time between 3 and 4 o’clock will the minute hand and the hour hand are on the same straight line but facing opposite directions ?

A) 3:15 2/8	B) 3:49
C) 3:49 1/11	D) 3:51

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 3:49 1/11

180 = 11/2 min – 30 hrs
180 = 11/2 m – 30 × 3
180 = 11/2 m – 90
(180 + 90) 2 = 11 m
m = 540/11 = 49 1/11 minutes.
