Q:

A sum of money invested at simpleinterest triples itself in 8 years. How many times will it become in 20 years time?

A) 8 times B) 7 times
C) 6 times D) 9 times
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 6 times

Explanation:

A = P(1 + rt/100)

So, A= 3P (it becomes triples)

3P = P(1 + 8r/100)→r = 25%

Now, when t = 20

⇒A = P(1 + 25*20/100)

⇒A = P(1+ 5)⇒A = 6P

So, it becomes 6 times.

Q:

Find the remainder when 1234 x 1235 x 1237 is divided by 8.

A) 4 B) 2
C) 0 D) 6
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 6

Explanation:

When we divide 1234 by 8, remainder is 2

When we divide 1235 by 8, remainder is 3

When we divide 1237 by 8, remainder is 5

---> 2 x 3 x 5 = 30 

As 30 will not be the remainder because it is greater than 8,

when 30 divided by 8, remainder = 6.
