- Question
How long will it take for a sum of money to grow from Rs.1250 to Rs.10,000, if it is invested at 12.5% p.a simple interest?
Options- A. 65years
- B. 56years
- C. 45years
- D. 57years
- Correct Answer
- 56years
ExplanationSimple interest is given by the formula SI = (pnr/100), where p is the principal, n is the numberof years for which it is invested, r is the rate of interest per annum
In this case, Rs. 1250 has become Rs.10,000.
Therefore, the interest earned = 10,000 ? 1250 = 8750.
8750 = [(1250 x n x 12.5)/100]
=> n = 700 / 12.5 = 56 years.

Correct Answer: bc ? b2+c2
Explanation:
Correct Answer: ? 570
Explanation:
Given, P = ? 9375, R1 = 2% and R2 = 4%
According to the formula,
A = P (1 + R1/100) (1 + R2/100)
= 9375 (1 + 2/100) (1 + 4/100)
= 9375 x (51/50) x (26/25)
= 7.5 x 51 x 26
= ? 9945
Now CI = A - P = 9945 - 9375 = ? 570
Correct Answer: 25%
Explanation:
? Gain = (S.P. of 100 bananas) - (C.P. of 100 bananas)
? (S.P.of 20) = (S.P of 100) - (C.P. of 100)
? S.P.of 80 = C.P. of 100
Let C.P. of each banana = Re. 1
C.P. of 80 banana = Rs. 80
S.P. of 80 banana = Rs. 100
? Gain % = (20 / 80) x 100 % = 25%
Correct Answer: 40
Explanation:
Average of first n natural numbers = ( n + 1 ) / 2
= ( 79 + 1 ) / 2
= 40
Correct Answer: 101.00027
Explanation:
| 101 | 27 | = 101 + | 27 | = 101 + .00027 = 101.00027 |
| 100000 | 100000 |
Correct Answer: 40
Explanation:
Let the numbers be 2 x and 3 x
Then, their L.C.M. = 6x.
So, 6x = 48 or x = 8.
∴ The numbers are 16 and 24.
Hence, required sum = (16 + 24) = 40.

Correct Answer: 20,30
Explanation:
Let us assume the first part is A then second part will be 50 - A.
According to question,
Sum of their reciprocals is 1/2.
1/A + 1/(50 - A) = 1/12
? (50 - A + A)/(50 - A)A = 1/12
? (50)/(50 - A)A = 1/12
? (50) x 12 = 1 x (50 - A)A
? 600 = (50 - A)A
? 600 = 50A - A2
? A2 - 50A + 600 = 0
? A2 - 30A - 20A + 600 = 0
? A(A - 30) - 20(A - 30) = 0
? (A - 30)(A - 20) = 0
? (A - 30) = 0 or (A - 20) = 0
? A = 20 , 30
Correct Answer: 20 km/hr .
Explanation:
Total time taken = (3/10 + 3/20 + 3/30 + 3/60) hrs.
= 3/5 hrs.
? Average speed = {12 / (3 / 5)} km/hr.
= (12 x 5 ) / 3 km/hr.
= 20 km/hr.
Correct Answer: 1.43
Explanation:
Given Exp. = 3.57 - 2.14
= 3 + (57 / 99) - 2 - (14 / 99)
= 1 + (57 / 99) - (14 /99)
= 1 + 43/99
= 1.43
