A) 4360 B) 4460
C) 4560 D) 4660
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 4460

Explanation:

Let the sum be Rs.P.then
P(1+R/100)^3=6690…(i) and P(1+R/100)^6=10035…(ii)
On dividing,we get (1+R/100)^3=10025/6690=3/2.
Substituting this value in (i),we get:
P*(3/2)=6690 or P=(6690*2/3)=4460
Hence,the sum is rs.4460.

Q:

The average of five consecutive odd numbers is 61. What is the difference between the highest and lowest numbers :

A) 4 B) 8
C) 12 D) 16
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 8

Explanation:

Let the numbers be x, x + 2, x + 4, x + 6 and x + 8.

Then  [x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) + (x + 6) + (x + 8) ] / 5 = 61.

or 5x + 20 = 305 or x = 57.

So, required difference = (57 + 8) - 57  = 8
