Correct Answer: Rs. 51.25
Explanation:
| Sum = Rs. | ❨ | 50 x 100 | ❩ | = Rs. 500. |
| 2 x 5 |
| Amount |
|
||||||||||
|
|||||||||||
| = Rs. 551.25 |
∴ C.I. = Rs. (551.25 - 500) = Rs. 51.25
Correct Answer: Rs. 3
Explanation:
| S.I. = Rs | ❨ | 1200 x 10 x 1 | ❩ | = Rs. 120. |
| 100 |
| C.I. = Rs. | [ | 1200 x | ❨ | 1 + | 5 | ❩ | 2 | - 1200 | ] | = Rs. 123. |
| 100 |
∴ Difference = Rs. (123 - 120) = Rs. 3.
Correct Answer: 60
Explanation:
| (A + B)'s 20 day's work = | ❨ | 1 | x 20 | ❩ | = | 2 | . |
| 30 | 3 |
| Remaining work = | ❨ | 1 - | 2 | ❩ | = | 1 | . |
| 3 | 3 |
| Now, | 1 | work is done by A in 20 days. |
| 3 |
Therefore, the whole work will be done by A in (20 x 3) = 60 days.
Correct Answer: 13 days
Explanation:
Ratio of times taken by A and B = 100 : 130 = 10 : 13.
Suppose B takes x days to do the work.
| Then, 10 : 13 :: 23 : x ⟹ x = | ❨ | 23 x 13 | ❩ | ⟹ x = | 299 | . |
| 10 | 10 |
| A's 1 day's work = | 1 | ; |
| 23 |
| B's 1 day's work = | 10 | . |
| 299 |
| (A + B)'s 1 day's work = | ❨ | 1 | + | 10 | ❩ | = | 23 | = | 1 | . |
| 23 | 299 | 299 | 13 |
Therefore, A and B together can complete the work in 13 days.
Correct Answer: 37½
Explanation:
| Whole work is done by A in | ❨ | 20 x | 5 | ❩ | = 25 days. |
| 4 |
| Now, | ❨ | 1 - | 4 | ❩ | i.e., | 1 | work is done by A and B in 3 days. |
| 5 | 5 |
Whole work will be done by A and B in (3 x 5) = 15 days.
| A's 1 day's work = | 1 | , (A + B)'s 1 day's work = | 1 | . |
| 25 | 15 |
| ∴ B's 1 day's work = | ❨ | 1 | - | 1 | ❩ | = | 4 | = | 2 | . |
| 15 | 25 | 150 | 75 |
| So, B alone would do the work in | 75 | = 37 | 1 | days. |

Correct Answer: 6.09%
Explanation:
| Amount of Rs. 100 for 1 year when compounded half-yearly |
] | = Rs. | [ | 100 x | ❨ | 1 + | 3 | ❩ | 2 | ] | = Rs. 106.09 |
| 100 |
∴ Effective rate = (106.09 - 100)% = 6.09%
Correct Answer: Rs. 10123.20
Explanation:

| = Rs. 35123.20 |
∴ C.I. = Rs. (35123.20 - 25000) = Rs. 10123.20
Correct Answer: Rs. 500
Explanation:
Let the sum be Rs. P.
| Then, | [ | P | ❨ | 1 + | 10 | ❩ | 2 | - P | ] | = 525 |
| 100 |
| ⟹ | P | [ | ❨ | 11 | ❩ | 2 | - 1 | ] | = 525 |
| 10 |
| ⟹ P = | ❨ | 525 x 100 | ❩ | = 2500. |
| 21 |
∴ Sum = Rs . 2500.
| So, S.I. = Rs. | ❨ | 2500 x 5 x 4 | ❩ | = Rs. 500 |
| 100 |
Correct Answer: 6%
Explanation:
Let the rate be R% p.a.
| Then, 1200 x | ❨ | 1 + | R | ❩ | 2 | = 1348.32 |
| 100 |
| ⟹ | ❨ | 1 + | R | ❩ | 2 | = | 134832 | = | 11236 |
| 100 | 120000 | 10000 |
| ∴ | ❨ | 1 + | R | ❩ | 2 | = | ❨ | 106 | ❩ | 2 |
| 100 | 100 |
| ⟹ 1 + | R | = | 106 |
| 100 | 100 |
⟹ R = 6%
Correct Answer: Rs. 2.04
