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

Q:

A wheel makes 1000 revolutions in covering a distance of 88 km. Find the radius of the wheel.

A) 14	B) 13
