Question : A man borrowed some money and agreed to pay it off by paying Rs. 3,150 at the end of the 1st year and Rs. 4,410 at the end of 2nd year. If the rate of Compound interest is 5% per annum, then the sum is:
Option 1: Rs. 5,000
Option 2: Rs. 6,500
Option 3: Rs. 7,000
Option 4: Rs. 9,200
Correct Answer: Rs. 7,000
Solution : Given: $A$ = Rs. 4,410, $R$ = 5% and $t$ = 2 years We know that $A=P(1+\frac{R}{100})^{t}$ ⇒ $4410=P(1+\frac{5}{100})^{2}$ ⇒ $4410=P×\frac{21}{20}×\frac{21}{20}$ ⇒ $P=4410×\frac{20}{21}×\frac{20}{21}$ ⇒ $P=4000$ Again, A = Rs. 3150, R = 5% and t = 1 year ⇒ $3150=P(1+\frac{5}{100})^{1}$ ⇒ $3150=P×\frac{21}{20}$ ⇒ $P=3150×\frac{20}{21}$
Question : Directions: By interchanging the given two signs and numbers, which of the following equations will be correct? + and ×, 1 and 2
Option 1: 8 × 3 – 4 ÷ 2 + 1 = 7
Option 2: 2 × 3 – 8 ÷ 1 + 9 = 18
Option 3: 8 × 3 – 4 ÷ 2 + 1 = 3
Option 4: 2 × 3 – 8 ÷ 1 + 2 = 5
Correct Answer: 8 × 3 – 4 ÷ 2 + 1 = 3
Solution : Let's check the options – First option: 8 × 3 – 4 ÷ 2 + 1 = 7 On interchanging the mathematical signs and numbers, we get – ⇒ 8 + 3 – 4 ÷
Question : If the selling price of 7 articles is equal to the cost price of 8 articles, then what is the profit percentage (correct to one decimal place)?
Option 1: 14.3%
Option 2: 13.9%
Option 3: 15.4%
Option 4: 11.7%
Correct Answer: 14.3%
Solution : Selling price of 7 articles = cost price of 8 articles ⇒ 7 × SP = 8 × CP ⇒ $\frac{SP}{CP} = \frac{8}{7}$ If SP = 8, then CP = 7 Gain = SP – CP = 8 – 7 = 1 Gain percentage =
Question : What is the value of $\frac{\sqrt{29.16}}{\sqrt{1.1664}}+\frac{\sqrt{0.2916}}{\sqrt{116.64}}+\frac{\sqrt{0.0036}}{\sqrt{0.36}}$?
Option 1: $\frac{26}{25}$
Option 2: $\frac{103}{20}$
Option 3: $\frac{27}{5}$
Option 4: $\frac{101}{20}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{103}{20}$
Solution : Given: The given expression is $\frac{\sqrt{29.16}}{\sqrt{1.1664}}+\frac{\sqrt{0.2916}}{\sqrt{116.64}}+\frac{\sqrt{0.0036}}{\sqrt{0.36}}$. $=\frac{\sqrt{29.16}}{\sqrt{1.1664}}+\frac{\sqrt{0.2916}}{\sqrt{116.64}}+\frac{\sqrt{0.0036}}{\sqrt{0.36}}$ $=\frac{\sqrt{\frac{2916}{100}}}{\sqrt{\frac{11664}{10000}}}+\frac{\sqrt{\frac{2916}{10000}}}{\sqrt{\frac{11664}{100}}}+\frac{\sqrt{\frac{36}{10000}}}{\sqrt{\frac{36}{100}}}$ $=\frac{\frac{54}{10}}{\frac{108}{100}}+\frac{\frac{54}{100}}{\frac{108}{10}}+\frac{\frac{6}{100}}{\frac{6}{10}}$ $=\frac{54}{10}\times \frac{100}{108}+\frac{54}{100}\times \frac{10}{108}+\frac{6}{100}\times \frac{10}{6}$ $=5+\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{10}$ $=\frac{100+1+2}{20}$ $=\frac{103}{20}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{103}{20}$.
