Question : A sum of Rs. 4,000 is lent out in two parts, one at 8% simple interest and the other at 10% simple interest. If the annual interest is Rs. 352, the sum lent at 8% is:
Option 1: Rs. 2,900
Option 2: Rs. 2,200
Option 3: Rs. 2,400
Option 4: Rs. 3,100
Correct Answer: Rs. 2,400
Solution : Let the sum lent at 8% as $x$ and the sum lent at 10% as $(4000 - x)$. Simple interest (S.I.)=$\frac{\text{Principal×Rate×Time}}{100}$ Where $S.I.$ is the simple interest, $P$ is the principal amount, $R$ is the rate of interest and $T$ is the time in

Question : For congruent triangles $\triangle$ABC and $\triangle$DEF, which of the following statements is correct?
Option 1: Perimeter of $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}=\frac{1}{2}$ Perimeter of $\triangle \mathrm{DEF}$
Option 2: Perimeter of $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}=$ Perimeter of $\triangle \mathrm{DEF}$
Option 3: Perimeter of $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}<$ Perimeter of $\triangle \mathrm{DEF}$
Option 4: Perimeter of $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}>$ Perimeter of $\triangle \mathrm{DEF}$
Correct Answer: Perimeter of $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}=$ Perimeter of $\triangle \mathrm{DEF}$
Solution : For congruent triangles $\triangle {ABC}$ and $\triangle {DEF}$, $AB = DE$, $BC = EF$, $AC=DF$ So, $AB+BC+AC=DE+EF+DF$ So, perimeter of $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}=$ Perimeter of $\triangle \mathrm{DEF}$ Hence, the correct answer is 'Perimeter of $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}=$ Perimeter of $\triangle

Option 1: 770 metres
Option 2: 90 metres
Option 3: 110 metres
Option 4: 180 metres
Correct Answer: 110 metres
