Question : The difference between Simple and Compound Interest (compounded annually) on Rs. 40,000 for 3 years at 8% per annum is:
Option 1: Rs. 684.32
Option 2: Rs. 788.48
Option 3: Rs. 784.58
Option 4: Rs. 4,000
Correct Answer: Rs. 788.48
Solution : The formula for the difference between Compound Interest(CI) and Simple Interest(SI) for 3 years is given by: $CI-SI=\frac{PR^{2}(300+R)}{100^{3}}$, where $P$ is principal and $R$ is rate of interest per annum compounded annually. ⇒ $CI-SI=\frac{40000\times8^{2}\times(300+8)}{100^{3}}$ ⇒ $CI-SI=\frac{788480000}{1000000}$ $\therefore CI-SI=788.48$ Hence, the correct answer is Rs.
Question : The ratio of the length of a rod and its shadow is $1: \sqrt{3}$. The angle of elevation of the sun is:
Option 1: $90^{\circ}$
Option 2: $30^{\circ}$
Option 3: $45^{\circ}$
Option 4: $60^{\circ}$
Correct Answer: $30^{\circ}$
Solution : The ratio of the length of a rod and its shadow, $\frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ ⇒ $\tan \theta = \frac{AB}{BC}$ ⇒ $\tan \theta = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ ⇒ $\tan\theta = \tan 30^{\circ}$ ⇒ $\theta =30^{\circ}$ Hence, the correct answer is $30^{\circ}$.
Question : DEF is an isosceles triangle such that DE = DF = 60 cm and EF = 96 cm. DG is a median to base EF. What is the length of DG?
Option 1: 22 cm
Option 2: 36 cm
Option 3: 24 cm
Option 4: 32 cm
Correct Answer: 36 cm
Solution : Given: DE = DF = 60 cm, EF = 96 DG median cuts EF into two halves. So, EG = $\frac{96}{2}=48$ cm In $\triangle$DEG, DE2 = DG2 + EG2 ⇒ DG = $\sqrt{60^2-48^2}=\sqrt{1296}=36$ cm Hence, the correct answer is 36 cm.
