Q:

There is 60% increase in an amount in 6 years at simple interest. What will be the compound interest of Rs. 12,000 after 3 years at the same rate

A) Rs.4972	B) Rs.3972
C) Rs.5972	D) Rs.2972

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs.3972

Explanation:

Let P = Rs. 100. Then, S.I. Rs. 60 and T = 6 years.

R= $\frac{100 * 60}{100 * 6}$ =10% p.a

Now, P = Rs. 12000. T = 3 years and R = 10% p.a.

C.I= $R s . [12000 * {[1 + \frac{10}{100}]}^{3} - 1]$
=Rs.3972

Q:

In a class, there are 15 boys and 10 girls. Three students are selected at random. The probability that 1 girl and 2 boys are selected, is:

A) 21/46	B) 1/5
C) 3/25	D) 1/50

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 21/46

Explanation:

Let , S - sample space E - event of selecting 1 girl and 2 boys.

Then, n(S) = Number ways of selecting 3 students out of 25

= $25 C_{3}$

= 2300.

n(E) = $10 C_{1} \times 15 C_{2}$ = 1050.

$\therefore$ P(E) = n(E)/n(s) = 1050/2300 = 21/46
