Question : INR 2,500, when invested for 8 years at a given rate of simple interest per year, amounted to INR 3,725 on maturity. What was the rate of simple interest that was paid per annum?
Option 1: 6%
Option 2: 6.125%
Option 3: 6.25%
Option 4: 5.875%

Solution : Principal amount, $P$ = Rs. 2500 Final amount with interest = Rs. 3725 Time duration of investment, $T$ = 8 years Let the rate of interest be $R$%. We know that, Simple Interest = $\frac{P\times R\times T}{100}$ According to the simple interest formula, $\frac{2500\times R\times
Question : Direction: In each of the following questions, some equations are solved based on a certain system. Find out the correct answer for the unsolved equation on that basis.
2 × 4 × 6 = 4 ; 9 × 3 × 7 = 13 ; 4 × 7 × 6 = 3 ; 9 × 7 × 8 = ?
Option 1: 10
Option 2: 09
Option 3: 08
Option 4: 07
Correct Answer: 10
Solution : Given:
2 × 4 × 6 = 4 ⇒ 2 – 4 + 6 = 4
9 × 3 × 7 = 13 ⇒ 9 – 3 + 7 = 13
4 × 7 × 6 = 3 ⇒ 4 – 7 + 6 =
Question : Directions: Which of the answer figures is the exact mirror image of the given problem figure when the mirror is held on the right side?
Option 1:
Option 2:
Option 3:
Option 4:
Correct Answer:
Solution : As per the mirror image properties, closer things appear closer to the mirror in the reflection. Here, according to the information provided, the mirror is placed on the right side of the figure (on line AB). So, the left side of the reflected image will appear
Question : In the given figure, PQ is a chord passing through the centre 'O' of the circle. Calculate $\angle$PQS.
Option 1: 40°
Option 2: 60°
Option 3: 20°
Option 4: 80°
Correct Answer: 20°
Solution : Here, $\angle SRQ =110°$ The sum of either pair of opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral is supplementary, i.e., $180^\circ$. $\angle SRQ + \angle SPQ = 180°$ So, $\angle SPQ = 180° - \angle SRQ = 180° - 110° = 70°$ $\angle PSQ$ is a

Question : What is the value of $\left(\frac{1}{a} - \frac{1}{b} - \frac{1}{c}\right)$, if $\frac{2a - 5}{a} - \frac{4b - 5}{b} + \frac{6c + 5}{c} = 0$?
Option 1: $\frac{4}{5}$
Option 2: $-\frac{8}{5}$
Option 3: $\frac{2}{5}$
Option 4: $-\frac{12}{5}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{4}{5}$
Solution : $\frac{2a- 5}{a} - \frac{4b - 5}{b} + \frac{6c + 5}{c} = 0$ $⇒(2 -\frac{5}{a}) - (4 - \frac{5}{b}) + (6 + \frac{5}{c})=0$ $⇒ -\frac{5}{a} + \frac{5}{b} + \frac{5}{c} = -4$ $⇒–(\frac{1}{a}- \frac{1}{b} - \frac{1}{c}) =-\frac{4}{5}$ $\therefore(\frac{1}{a} - \frac{1}{b} - \frac{1}{c}) = \frac{4}{5}$ Hence, the correct
