Q:

In a City, 35% of the population is composed of migrants, 20% of whom are from rural areas. Of the local population, 48% is female while this figure for rural and urban migrants is 30% and 40% respectively. If the total population of the city is 728400, what is its female population ?

A) 324138	B) 349680
C) 509940	D) None of these

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 324138

Explanation:

Total Population = 728400

Migrants = 35 % of 728400 = 254940

$\therefore$ local population = (728400 - 254940) = 473460.

Rural migrants = 20% of 254940 = 50988

Urban migrants = (254940 - 50988) = 203952

Female population = 48% of 473460 + 30% of 50988 + 40% of 203952 = 324138

Q:

The difference between the compound interest and the simple interest accrued on an amount of Rs. 18,000 in 2 years was Rs. 405. What was the rate of interest p.c.p.a. ?

A) 12%	B) 13%
C) 14%	D) 15%

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 15%

Explanation:

Let the rate be R% p.a. Then,

$[1800 {(1 + \frac{R}{100})}^{2} - 1800] - (\frac{1800 * R * 2}{100}) = 405$

$1800 [\frac{{(100 + R)}^{2}}{10000} - 1 - \frac{2 R}{100}] = 405$

$1800 [\frac{{(100 + R)}^{2} - 10000 - 200 R}{10000}] = 405$

$\Leftrightarrow$

$\frac{9}{5} * R^{2} = 405 \Leftrightarrow R^{2} = (\frac{405 * 5}{9}) = 225 \Leftrightarrow R = 15$
Rate = 15%.
