- Question
- A sum amounts to ? 2916 in 2 yr and ? 3149.28 in 3 yr at compound interest. The sum is?
Options- A. ? 1500
- B. ? 2500
- C. ? 2000
- D. ? 3000
- Correct Answer
- ? 2500
ExplanationLet required amount be ? P.
According to the question,
2916 = P (1 + R/100)2 ... (i)
and 3149.28 = P(1 + R/100)3 ... (ii)
On dividing Eq. (ii) by Eq. (i), we get
1 + R/100 = 3149.28/2916
? R/100 = (3149.28/2916) - 1
? R = (233.28/2916) x 100 = 8%
From Eq. (i),
P = (2916 x 100 x 100)/(108 x 108)
= ? 2500 - 1. In a two-digit number, the digit at the unit's place is 1 less than twice the digit at the ten's place. If the digits at unit's and ten's place are interchanged, the difference between the new and the original number is less than the original number by 20. The original number is

Correct Answer: 47
Explanation:
let us assume the ten's digit number be x and unit's place digit be y.
Then two digit Original Number = 10x + y
According to question ? y = 2x - 1 ................(1)
When digits are interchanged then new number = 10y + x
If the digits at unit's and ten's place are interchanged, the difference between the new and the original number is less than the original number by 20,
New Number - Original Number = Original number - 20
? 10y + x - (10x + y) = 10x + y - 20
? 10y + x - 10x - y - 10x - y = - 20
? 8y - 19x = - 20
? 19x - 8y = 20 ...................(2)
Put the value of y from equation (1) in above equation (2).
? 19x - 8(2x - 1) = 20
? 19x - 16x - 8 = 20
? 7x = 20 + 8
? 7x = 28
? x = 28/7
? x = 4
Put the value of y in equation (1)
From (i) y = 2 x 4 -1 = y = 7
? original number = 10x + y =10 x 4 + 7 = 47.
Correct Answer: 120
Explanation:
Let the number be N
According to the question N x ( N x 3)/4 = 10800
? 3N2 / 4 = 10800
? N2 = (10800 x 4) / 3= 14400
N = ?14400 = 120
Correct Answer: 48.5 m
Explanation:
? A runs 100 m while B runs 95 m
? A runs 400 m while B runs 95 x 400 / 100 = 380 m
Again, B runs 200 m while C runs 185 m
? B runs 380 m while C runs 185 x 200 / 380 = 3515 / 10 = 351.5 m
Hence, A runs 400 m while C runs 351.5 m
So, A can beat C by (400 ? 351.5) = 48.5 m
Correct Answer: 200 meters
Explanation:
? Relative speed of the train = (40 - 25) km/hr = 15 x (5/18) = 25/6 m/sec
? Length of the train = (48 x 25) / 6 = 200 meters .
Correct Answer: M
Explanation:
From above given triangle , It is clear that the altitudes AL, BM and CN of ?ABC intersect at H. Then H is the orthocentre of ?ABC.
In ?ABC, HL ? BC and BN ? CH.
Thus, the two altitudes HL and BN of ?HBC, intersects at A.
Hence the orthocentre of ?HBC is M .
Correct Answer: 3.5 m
Explanation:
Let the radius of circular field = r m.
Speed of person in m/s = 30/60 = 1/2m/s
According to the question,
[(2?r) /(1/2)] - [(2r)/(1/2)] = 30
? 4?r - 4r = 30
? [4 x (22/7) - 4]r =30
? (125 - 4)r = 30
? (8.5)r = 30
? r = 30/8.5 = 3.5 m
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
Let P(B) = x
Given, P(A?B) = 0.8 and P(A) = 0.3
? P(A) + P(B) - P(A?B) = 0.8
? P(A) + P(B) - P(A) P(B) = 0.8 {?A and B are independent}
? 0.3 + x - 0.3x = 0.8
? 0.7x = 0.5
? x = 5/7

Correct Answer: 1
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 4:1
Explanation:
Let x km . be covered in y hrs.
then, 1st speed = (x / y) km/hr.
2nd speed = [(x/2) / 2y)] km/hr.
= (x/4y) km/hr.
? Ratio of speed = x/y : x/4y = 1 :1/4 = 4: 1
