Q:

Total 100 members are writing exam. In that 48 members are writing first exam, 45 members are writing second exam and 38 members are writing third exam. 5 members are writing all the three exams. How many members are writing 2 exams ?

A) 26 B) 23
C) 27 D) 21
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 21

Explanation:

Total number of exams written by 100 students = 48 + 45 + 38 = 131
Now let us say x members are writing only 1 exam, y members are writing only 2 exams, z members are writing only 3 exams.
Therefore, x + 2y + 3z = 131 also x + y + z = 100.
Given that z = 5. So x + 2y = 116 and x + y = 95.
Solving we get y = 21.
So 21 members are writing exactly 2 exams.

Q:

Kramer borrowed $4000 from George at an interest rate of 7% compounded semiannually. The loan is to be repaid by three payments. The first payment, $1000, is due two years after the date of the loan. The second and third payments are due three and five years, respectively, after the initial loan. Calculate the amounts of the second and third payments if the second payment is to be twice the size of the third payment.

A) 1389 B) 1359
C) 1379 D) 1339.33
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 1339.33

Explanation:

Given:j=7% compounded semiannually making m=2 and i = j/m= 7%/2 = 3.5%
Let x represent the third payment. Then the second payment must be 2x.
PV1,PV2, andPV3 represent the present values of the first, second, and third payments.

Since the sum of the present values of all payments equals the original loan, then
PV1 + PV2  +PV3  =$4000 -------(1)

PV1   =FV/(1 + i)^n  =$1000/(1.035)^4=  $871.44

At first, we may be stumped as to how to proceed for
PV2 and PV3. Let’s think about the third payment of x dollars. We can compute the present value of just $1 from the x dollars

pv=1/(1.035)^10=0.7089188

PV2   =2x * 0.7089188 = 1.6270013x
PV3   =x * 0.7089188=0.7089188x
Now substitute these values into equation ➀ and solve for x.
$871.442 + 1.6270013x + 0.7089188x  =$4000

2.3359201x  =$3128.558

x=$1339.326
Kramer’s second payment will be 2($1339.326)  =$2678.65, and the third payment will be $1339.33

The UK accountancy firm noted the fast pace of growth in Indian renewable energy in the past three years. Over 10 gigawatt (Gw) of solar power was added between 2015 and 2017 and wind energy capacity grew to 5.4 Gw in 2017-18. This growth is in the context of the government’s ambitious targets — 175 Gw of renewables by 2022, with 40 per cent installed capacity from renewables by 2030 — and the dramatic price falls in photovoltaic technology.
