Q:

An intelligent boy is doing a jigsaw with 275 pieces. Each day that he fits pieces together there are fewer pieces left, and it is reasonable to assume that he fits more pieces each day because the number left to sort out diminishes progressively. Hence he is able to fit an extra piece as each day goes by. On the first day he fits 20 pieces. How many days does it take for him to complete the puzzle ?

A) 11 days B) 15 days
C) 13 days D) 16 days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 11 days

Explanation:

Let 'n' number of days it take to complete.

 

we know that sum of n number= n/2[2a+(n-1)d]
where a=20,d=1;
n/2[2x20+(n-1)1]=275
n[n+39]=550
n2 + 39n - 550 = 0
 n2+ 50n - 11n - 550 = 0
(n-11) (n-50) = 0
n-11 = 0;
n = 11(Days).

Explanation:

Here Avinash gave to Rajeev and Rajeev gave the same to Chanukya

Principal amount and Time is same but the only difference is Rate of interest.

Rajeev took @ 8% and gave it to Chanukya @ 6%

Here the difference in interest rate = 2%

2% of 5400 should be the extra amount paid by Rajeev to Avinash

Required amount = 2 x 5400 x 4100 = 432

 

Hence, Rs. 432 is the extra amount has to be paid by Rajeev to Avinash after 4 years.
