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

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

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: $60^{\circ}$

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

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

Team Careers360 15th Jan, 2024

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.
