- Question
A certain sum amounts to Rs.7350 in 2 years and to Rs.8575 in 3 years.find the sum and rate percent
Options- A. 3400
- B. 4400
- C. 5400
- D. 6400
- Correct Answer
- 5400
ExplanationInterest for 1 year is the same whether it's simple interest or the compound interest.
Now interest of third year = 8575 - 7350 = 1225; means principal for this interest is 7350 if comound interest is takenIf 7350 is the principal interest = 1225
if 100 is the principal interest =(1225/7350) * 100 = 50/3 %
When a thing increases for two successive times the overall increase on initial amount = a + b + (a * b)/100
Therefore overall interest for two years = 50/3 + 50/3 + [(50/3)*(50/3)]/100 = 325/9 %
Therefore amount after 2 years = 100 + 325/9 = 1225/9
If 1225/9 is the amount principal =100
if 7350 is the amount principal =(900/1225)*7350 =5400
So sum = 5400; Rate = 50/3 %

Correct Answer: 6
Explanation:
(A + B)'s 2 day's work = 2 x (1/3) = 2/3
Remaining work = 1 - (2/3) = 1/3
A will complete 1/3 work in 2
A will complete 1 work in 6
A's 1 days work = 1/6
B's 1 day's work = (1/3) - (1/6) = 1/6
? B will take 6 days to complete the work alone.
Correct Answer: 28 meters
Explanation:
Distance covered in one revolution = total distance travelled / total number of revolution.
= ( 88 x 1000) / 1000 m
= 88 m
We know that the distance covered in one revolution = circumference of the wheel.
? ?d = 88
? 22d / 7 = 88
? d = 28 m
Correct Answer: 36
Explanation:
So, 36 is wrong.
Correct Answer: 1.28
Explanation:
Given expression = (.896 x .752 +.896 x .248) / (.7 x .034 + .7 x.966)
=.[896 x (.752+.248)] / [.7 x (.034+.966)]
= .(896 x 1) / ( .700 x 1)
=896/700
= 1.28
Correct Answer: 48 km/hr
Explanation:
Average speed =2 x 40 x 60 / ( 40+ 60)
= 4800 / 100
= 48 km/hr
Correct Answer: Saturday
Explanation:
Each day of the week is repeated after 7 days.
So, after 63 days, it will be Monday.
After 61 days, it will be Saturday.
Correct Answer: 8500
Explanation:
9548 16862 = 8362 + x + 7314 x = 16862 - 8362 ----- = 8500 16862 -----
Correct Answer: ? 312
Explanation:
We know that
BG = SI on TD = (240 x 30 x 1 x 1)/100
= ? 72
BG = BD - TD
? BD = BG + TD
= 72 + 240
= ? 312
Correct Answer: May
Explanation:
If previous year is leap year then calendar of May is similar to July
Correct Answer: 1/2 , 3/4
Explanation:
In tossing a coin 2 times the sample space is 4 i,e (H, H), (H, T), (T, H), (T, T)
(1) If A1 denotes exactly one head
then A1 = {(H, T) (T, H) }
So, P(A1 ) = 2/4 = 1/2
(2) If A denotes at least one head
then A = {(H, T) (T, H) (H, H)}
? A = {(H, T) (T, H) (H, H )}
? P(A) = 3/4
