Q:

A sum of money invested for a certain number of years at 8% p.a. simple interest grows to Rs.180. The same sum of money invested for the same number of years at 4% p.a. simple interest grows to Rs.120 only. For how many years was the sum invested?

A) 25years B) 15years
C) 20years D) 22years
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 25years

Explanation:

From the information provided we know that,

Principal + 8% p.a. interest on principal for n years = 180 …….. (1)

Principal + 4% p.a. interest on principal for n years = 120 ……… (2)

Subtracting equation (2) from equation (1), we get

4% p.a. interest on principal for n years = Rs.60.

Now, we can substitute this value in equation (2),

i.e Principal + 60 = 120

= Principal = Rs.60.

We know that SI = , where p is the principal, n the number of years and r the rate percent of  interest.

In equation (2), p = Rs.60, r = 4% p.a. and the simple interest = Rs.60.

Therefore, 60 =(60*n*4)/100

=> n = 100/4 = 25 years.

Q:

If the selling price of a mat is five times the discount offered and if the percentage of discount is equal to the percentage profit, find the ratio of the discount offered to the cost price.

A) 6:31 B) 11:30
C) 7:30 D) 31:6
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 7:30

Explanation:

Since S.P. = 5 (M.P. - S.P.) => 5 M.P. = 6 S.P.
M.P. = (6/5) S.P.
Since the percentage discount = Percentage profit,
65S.P - S.P65S.P×100 = S.P -C.PC.P×100
Therefore, 1/6 = (S.P/C.P) – 1 => S.P = (7/6) C.P
M.P = 6/5 S.P = 6/5 x 7/6 C.P = 7/5 C.P
Therefore, Ratio of discount to C.P
= (M.P – S.P)/C.P = [{(7/5)C.P - (7/6)C.P} / C.P.]
= 7/30

 

Therefore, the ratio is 7 : 30

Q:

Yard is to Inch as Quart is to

A) Milk B) Gallon
C) Liquid D) Ounce
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Ounce

Explanation:

Yard is to Inch as Quart is to Ounce.

Because Yard and Inch are units of measurement Where Yard is larger than Inch i.e, 1 Yard = 36 Inches.

So, here Quart and Ounce are also units of measurement where Quart is larger than Ounce i.e, 1 Quart = 32 Ounces.

Gallon is not correct because Gallon is larger than Quart and Milk and Liquid are not units of measurement.

So, Ounce is correct.
