Question : What is the present worth of INR 1,100 due in 2 years at 5% simple interest per annum?
Option 1: INR 3,000
Option 2: INR 2,000
Option 3: INR 1,000
Option 4: INR 1,500
Correct Answer: INR 1,000
Solution : Let the present worth be INR $x$. We know that simple interest = Amount - Principal So, $1100−x=x\times(\frac{5}{100})\times2$ ⇒ $x+10x=11000$ ⇒ $x=\frac{11000}{11}$ ⇒ $x=1000$ Hence, the correct answer is INR 1,000.

Question : Simplify the following. $\cot13° \cot27° \cot45° \cot63° \cot77° = ?$
Option 1: $1$
Option 2: $\sqrt3$
Option 3: $2$
Option 4: $\sqrt2$
Correct Answer: $1$
Solution : Given expression: $\cot13° \cot27° \cot45° \cot63° \cot77°$ We know $\cot (90°-\theta)=\tan \theta$ Now, $\cot13° \cot27° \cot45° \cot63° \cot77°$ = $\cot 13°\cot27°\cot45°\cot(90°-27°)\cot(90°-13°)$ = $\cot 13°\cot27°\cot45°\tan27°\tan13°$ = $\cot 45°$ [since $\cot\theta\cdot\tan\theta = 1$] = $1$ Hence, the correct answer is $1$.
