Q:

Two numbers are such that the sum of twice the first number and thrice the second number is 36 and the sum of thrice the first number and twice the second number is 39. Find the difference between the numbers?

A) 15 B) 3
C) 9 D) 6
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 15

Explanation:

Let the required two numbers be a, b

From the given data,

2a + 3b = 36 .....(1)

3a + 2b = 39 .....(2)

Now, by solving 1 and 2 eqnts, we get

5a = 45

a = 9 ....(3)

Put (3) in (1), we get

2(9) + 3b = 36

=> 18 + 3b = 36

3b = 36 - 18

=> b = 18/3 = 6

 

Required, difference between the numbers = a + b = 9 + 6 = 15.

Q:

Arun took a loan of Rs. 29000 with simple interest for as many years as the rate of interest. If he paid Rs. 10440 as interest at the end of the loan period, what was the rate of interest?

A) 5.5% B) 6%
C) 6.5% D) 7%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 6%

Explanation:

Principle amount = Rs. 29000

Interest = Rs. 10440

Let rate of interest = r%

=> So, time = r years

According to the question,

10440 = 29000 x r x r/100

290 x r x r = 10440

r x r = 1044/29 = 36

r = 6

 

Hence, the rate of interest = 6% and time = 6 yrs.
